+ another 4% if you pay with a credit card. I guess that spoils my plans for a new Meg.

naah that would be against merchant rules... its that you loose your cash discount!

Joe is correct; it is a direct violation of the merchant agreement to charge more for credit card use. Oddly enough its perfectly ok to offer a "cash discount".

However, if a price list has a number on it, and then you are told that it will be 4% more for credit card use, that should be reported to your bank. That can (and will) get the merchant's authorization to take plastic revoked. The legitimate way to do this is to list a total price and then offer a discount for cash (yes, I know its technically the same thing - go talk to the merchant processors about it!)

BTW, 4% is damn high - like double what any merchant with any sort of business history and assets should be able to achieve with a moderate amount of effort, even for "Card not present" transactions. I had a merchant account for close to 15 years and we were never charged more than a 2% discount rate - and 90%+ of our transactions were "card not present."

Thanks for this. Just to be absolutely clear, this is for a unit 'ready to dive' including harness, backplate etc?

Yep. That's for the full package. If you download the pricelist it will tell you what's included, all the specs, and extra options you can order if desired.
