    Visa Card and Amex Cards can cause problem. Often when we need to buy some expensive things we thing about using our plastic - however as a general rule
     
    Visa/Mastercard will incurr an increase in the selling proce of 2%
    Amex will get you an increase if 5%
     
    Plastic should only be used as a last resort - in fact it may be cheaper getting cash out on your Visa/Amex (Paying 1.8% handling fee on it) than actually using it - and being charged 2-5% !!!!
     
    Regards
