Amazon UK to stop accepting Visa credit cards
« on: November 17, 2021, 12:13:19 PM »
Just had this in my inbox


If it was any other company it probably wouldn't make a difference but that's got to be a big chunk of Visa's transactions

It's Boris' fault:
"The issue relates to Visa increasing its credit fees after Brexit. The EU enforces a cap on fees charged by card issuers, which is no longer in place in the UK."

Honestly, it hurts when you get a $1500 reservation from the UK and you lose 4-5% because they put it on their UK card.
