Now I’m curious too. Credit card processing and discount fees are complex from what I’ve seen. Chances are there are only one or two people at Dpf who know the full answer…
I wonder if a charity is ever given better rates?
From what I have seen, much of the higher fees a business pays depends more on the type of credit card you pay with-say an Amex, or a “premium” card like those with the greatest perks and only given to higher income households, will cost the selling business higher fees, which are set by Visa/MC.
I f you don’t get a firm answer, my suggestion is to Pay with the commonest cheapest (no fee?) MC you have, in one lump sum, as a best bet option. That should avoid the extra per transaction fees and any premium card percentages.
No idea about fees, but loving your idea of donating the distance done. I’m going to borrow that idea. Thanks. Was also thinking of how to support Ukraine. Ive donated already but will do the same - kms done to DPF and Ukraine - may as well use my unused (due to covid) holiday funds
