I had a client who wanted to pay a $30,000 bill by credit card so he could get the Airmiles. I tried to explain to him that his $150 worth of Airmiles was going to cost me $600 - $800 in fees, he didn't think that mattered. I told him I'll give him $150 in cash and he said he wouldn't feel right about taking that money. People are idiots.

I started charging 3% for any credit card payment over $1000 a long time ago. No one from Visa, Mastercard or the merchant processor ever called me to say I had to stop.
