Credit card surcharge ban

Just been looking at the coininvest site and they are still charging 2% credit card surchage

Are some businesses exempt from the ban

Don't think there's any exemption.  Read an artical yesterday that says some companies are ignoring the ban and carrying on as usual

they`ll just jack their prices up to cover it, looks good politically but in real life makes no difference, banks will like it as more of the sheep will use cards over cash giving them more excuses to close branches, really don`t trust this electronic banking shit and until the banks take the hit for scams rather than the customers I won`t use electronic banking, young or old the same rule applies, cash is king

But at nearly £100 extra for 2% credit card charge
