Here’s an interesting post that we ran across at Consumerist.com, called 10 Things You might Not Know About Your Credit Card.  The post is basically a short primer for consumers about Visa and Mastercard acceptance rules.

Topics covered include: “Do I need to sign the back of my credit card?”, “What is my maximum liability if my credit or debit card is stolen”, “Can merchants require a minimum amount for a credit card purchase?”.

Some of the points are quite general and miss some of the nuances of the Visa and Mastercard rules, but it’s an interesting read and a good refresher on the rules for anyone whose business accepts credit cards.
