A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

MODERATORS
CC can take a good percentage on orders, as much as 6% I've heard 8% on super high premium cards like Amex, don't know if it's true
Debit card is usually the best way for small businesses.
If your CC has a 1-2% cashback incentive, it's not because Visa or MC really likes you. The money comes has to come from somewhere.
Some local businesses around me just stopped accepting CC altogether
Interesting. Businesses by me increasingly only accept cards, no cash.
I like this take. Payment processors provide a service to both customers and businesses and should get paid, but, the MBA crowd never stops short of anything they COULD get, so they gamify consumers (rewards) and threaten business (nice revenue stream, would be shame if anything happened to it). As a layman l, that’s how I see it. Someone in biz can probably give better detail.
