Take Action | The CARD Alliance | Consumers Against Retail Discrimination
The Senate recently adopted an amendment to the financial reform bill that will cut giant retailers a break, while forcing consumers to pay more to use their debit cards.
The amendment allows the federal government to set the rate that merchants pay to accept debit cards. If this amendment passes, consumers will pay higher fees and receive fewer rewards - while seeing no difference in price at the register. Consumers shouldn’t have to pay more so giant retailers can profit.
This amendment has already made its way through the Senate, but there is still a narrow but critical opportunity to prevent it from becoming law. Send your letter today.
