The card surcharges are so annoying. I'm moving to cash until they ban them.
Ummmm.... They just did? https://ministers.treasury.gov.au/ministers/jim-chalmers-2022/media-releases/ending-card-surcharges-help-cost-living
It'll make everything more expensive but hey, no surcharge ๐
Instead of one surcharge at the end, it will be a dozen smaller ones on each product. Yay .......
It'll take a while to kick in
It won't take effect until later this year. I'm talking about the time between now and when it takes effect.
