    History lesson: in 1990 I worked at a computer store. If you paid by credit card you paid the listed price. If you paid with cash, you got the CASH DISCOUNT price.

    Soon MasterCard and VISA went to court to prevent the cash discount practice.

    Soon after, points and cash-back credit cards came out

      There are several gas stations who offer a cash price that is about 10 cents a gallon cheaper than the credit card price.
