Retail merchants not likely to charge credit card fees

By June Watanabe

POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Feb 04, 2013

~~<p><strong>Question</strong>: Effective Jan. 28, a new credit card fee supposedly started popping up in 40 states. It&rsquo;s not like all the merchants are charging this fee, but I&rsquo;d like to get more information. I understand the fees will range between 1.4 and 4 percent for people using Visa or MasterCard. Can you tell us more?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: From reports nationally, it doesn&rsquo;t appear many merchants have started imposing or will impose the fees for fear of driving away customers.</p>
