Apparently the Costco move to Visa did not go well, and Sam's is looking to capitalize (link) -- (edited) - ÜMLaut Jun 30, 11:24 20
- Walmart Canada recently stopped accepting Visa and a big feud has erupted -- nm - zork Jun 30, 11:44
- What is the advantage they get for limiting which cards people can use? I'd think they'd want to make it easier for people to spend money. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 11:36 17
  - they can probably negotiate a lower rate that they pay to the exclusive credit card company than just taking all of them and kicking back a higher % -- nm - gerald Jun 30, 11:37 13
    - Do the customers get something? -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 11:39 12
      - there are exclusive rewards on the cards, some specific to Costco purchases and some not -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 30, 11:42
      - lower prices. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 11:42
      - Helps keep overall expenses down, and is theoretically passed through in the form of lower prices. - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 11:41 4
        
        'theoretically' -- nm - decline Jun 30, 11:42 3
        
        I only say that because cost does not drive price, directly. - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 11:56
        
        It's Costco, so it's likely they are. The CEO makes a fraction of what CEOs usually make - TWuG Jun 30, 11:45 1
        
        Yeah, Costco makes 80% of its profits on the membership fee, not product sales. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 30, 11:47
      - nope -- nm - decline Jun 30, 11:39 4
        
        My best guess is they can say they can keep prices down because of the discount on the fees they pay. - Krusty Jun 30, 11:42 3
        
        for a low-cost retailer, they need to trim costs whereever. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 11:43 2
        
        True. I'm sure it's helpful and I'll assume they've done the research to know if limiting cards costs them customers. -- nm* - Krusty Jun 30, 11:47 1
        
        they've done so since day one -- nm - decline Jun 30, 12:12
  - Visa cut Costco a break on their fees to be exclusive -- nm - decline Jun 30, 11:36 2
    - So it's good for them but nothing for the customer? That's weird. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 11:38 1
      - The lower their credit card fees, the lower their overall overhead which goes back into product pricing. The membership fee is the profit driver. - Name Withheld by Request Jun 30, 11:46
- Sounds not unlike the cluster I heard about when Jetblue moved their card from AMEX to Barclay earlier this year - ty97 Jun 30, 11:31

- i don't think i've ever bought my movie tickets online - gerald Jun 30, 11:23 2
  - I think I've mentioned before but ever since our AMC went to recliners, shows sell out constantly. Less seating -- nm - oblique Jun 30, 11:35
  - Yeah, you tend to not like popular movies that have sold-out shows. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 11:34
- I'm still working on using up my last ones I bought under a similar deal. The only real downside I've seen to getting them is 1) Having them with you - oblique Jun 30, 11:21

Two big Transgender news stories: Pentagon is dropping ban on TS troops. Ontario making gender neutral driver's licenses and health cards -- nm* - zork Jun 30, 11:16 4
- I wonder why they don't remove gender altogether (at least from the drivers' licence) -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 11:19 2
  - Worried about people lending their licenses? -- nm - zork Jun 30, 11:27 1
    - That doesn't seem likely to me - you can still lend me your licence, for example, and if I were to get pulled over there would be no "be on your way - Roger More Jun 30, 11:46
- But how will Ladies Night work? -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 11:18
