Surcharge Fees

A credit card surcharge is an additional fee that a merchant charges to your card when you use a credit card for payment. In certain states, the act of surcharging is permitted. In permitted states, the surcharge must not exceed the cost of acceptance for the credit card, and the fee must be identified separately on the receipt. In addition, disclosures must be provided at the point of entry and point of sale.

Currently, the following ten states have prohibited vendors from applying surcharge fees:

  • Texas
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Connecticut
  • Florida
  • Kansas
  • Maine
  • Massachusetts
  • New York
  • Oklahoma

If a Texas merchant charges extra for credit card use, take a photograph of a sign or receipt proving the illegal surcharge. Then, contact a p-card administrator or file a complaint with the Texas Attorney General.

Please note that merchants can still require a minimum purchase of $10 before a credit card can be used. In addition, the government is an exception to the law in the above states and may still place a surcharge on credit card payments.
