No one talks about surcharges paid by vendors on card transactions, but ultimately we do pay for the convenience.

I use my card a lot, as in "for everything including routine bills," because I want to pile up points. Without that incentive (old card), I didn't, not nearly as much. Groceries, anything in a small shop, many restaurants, I paid cash.

And vendors have to pay to handle cash too, in secure vaults, and paying in charges, and having someone to count it.
