Pfft. I don't carry cash. Not even any change. I'll charge a $1 candy or drink without blinking. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 12, 11:22 1

I don't have a minimum. I use the card all the time -- nm - oblique May 12, 11:15
$20 -- nm - CQ May 12, 11:14 1
- oh, I was thinking debit, for the credit card it's at least $100 -- nm - CQ May 12, 11:16
I've been in two liquor stores that have a minimum purchase for credit/debit cards; one was $10 and the other was $6! -- nm - CrankYanker May 12, 11:13 4
- A lot depends on what the credit card fees are for the business. - Ender May 12, 11:16 3
  - A business usually gets a credit card terminal to increase the sales, not turn them away. You take the bad with the good. -- nm - CrankYanker May 12, 11:19 2
    - The liquor store I go to actually at one point had an additional 2% fee they'd charge if you used a card. -- nm - Ender May 12, 11:21 1
      - Some limo companies charge 3%.....I don't think it's right. -- nm - CrankYanker May 12, 11:23
I quit using my credit a while back, but I'll put anything on a debit card as I don't carry cash. I had a $2.79 purchase yesterday -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:13 5
- See, I'm the opposite, I put everything possible on the air-miles credit card and pay it off monthly. - MojaveMeg May 12, 11:17 1
  - that makes sense - but for me, I just feel better not having another bill to pay -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:20
- remlik's soul is *cheap* -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 11:14 2
  - not really, $2.79 only gets you a mini-mate plastic version of his soul - the limited edition replicas of his soul can get spendy, moreso if signed -- nm - crash davis May 12, 11:19 1
    - samwise will play with it for about a day then forget it even exists - sherlock homie May 12, 11:20
anything under $5 makes me feel wearing-Ed-Hardy-level douchey. -- nm - TFox May 12, 11:12 2
- for a credit card, yes ... for debit, not so much. Not sure why. - Beryllium May 12, 11:14 1
  - meh. debit is like cash to me. -- nm - JaxSean May 12, 11:17
About $2. I barely ever use cash anymore, I've only made two ATM withdrawals this year. -- nm - Ender May 12, 11:12
I'll put anything on a credit card if I don't have cash. - JaxSean May 12, 11:11
I had a customer at Starbuck onec write a personal check for a $.95 cup of coffee. -- nm - znufrii May 12, 11:11
i hate doing it but when i don't have cash, i'll use my cc for the $2.99 bagel special downstairs -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 11:11 1
- I generally have $20 or $30 in cash - but that's for those fun things that I *don't* want a guilty record of :) - MojaveMeg May 12, 11:14
Ive charged $135 soda from 7-11 -- nm - budice May 12, 11:11 3
- redmond, don't kill him -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 11:11
- That must have been a big fuckin' soda! -- nm - Jim May 12, 11:11
- damn, Canada is *expensive* -- nm - loosilu May 12, 11:11
