You should blame the credit card companies, then, who charge merchants transaction fees. They make a lot of money that way. Nothing wrong with small merchants having a minimum amount to use your credit card, or charging you slightly more for using it.
That's what funds the credit card rewards programs
I don't care about posts that don't interest me. I can't stand it when people care about uninteresting posts rather than my much more interesting posts.
Gas stations I always use a card and dislike emptying my wallet especially traveling Not going to go inside and pay cash. Purchase is $50+ so not too bad for them
Same here, I always use my CC at gas stations - gotta rack up them miles...lol. I get super-annoyed if it's broken and I have to go inside, especially if I have to wait in a stupid line. That hasn't happened in ages though.
You must drive a big car to take $50+ worth of gas - at $2.19 a gallon, that's over 22 gallons of gas. Hopefully you don't have to fill up too often...lol.
Las Vegas hotels are cheap, mostly because they want to attract you to the casinos where you'll blow all your money.
I figured that much. Ok, I'll put Las Vegas on my bucket list.

Similar prices at the Golden Nugget, from 41 upwards. But I expected even more. Surely you can find some sleazy stakehouse elsewhere.
For example, go to Spis in Central Helsinki, the long menu (six courses with wines) is like $160, and you don't know even what you get.

Yeah, when I was living at home I used pay the fees but as I've moved here and now I have to pay for everything I've decided to start carrying around more money.
It's a shame that companies try and con more money out of people.
My cars wants premium, gas might be a little higher here; I think I'm still remembering higher gas prices. Tank holds 18 gallons usually fill up around 15.
