in Credit cards
Quite of a surprising news dropped into my mailbox this morning:
“Starting 19 January, 2022, we will unfortunately no longer accept Visa credit cards issued in the UK, due to the high fees Visa charges for processing credit card transactions. You can still use debit cards (including Visa debit cards) and non-Visa credit cards like Mastercard, Amex, and Eurocard to make purchases. Please update your default payment method now, or add one of these new, eligible payment methods if you do not have one.”
Amex has been my default payment on Amazon for more then 15 years but I occasionally used a Visa to keep them alive for low value items
