Flying J Drops Visa

[Broompilot]

Devil Advocate here:::::::


Is this really the Js fault, or has Visa gotten out of Control and this is the way for one Corporation to say YOU AINT EATING INTO OUR PROFITS any longer Visa?

If there is a way to read back stories written in the Business sections of news papers. One will see some of the DIRTY tactics Visa is playing with retailers now days.

One example they now have a new card out for Super Spenders which could include Truck Drivers who charge up $50K a year and pay there bills on time. The problem is they are charging the retailers a half a percent MORE if he chooses to use that Golden Plat Visa Card vs a regular old one. Just for the luxury of being a good person. Not the person carrying the card, he does not pay extra just the retailers who accept it. Sounds like GOUGING to me.

As for boycoting the J, one in my personal opinion would be making a big mistake. I do like the Tab account 5%+ intrest paid daily, small fee for cash at the ATM and Cash price for fuel without having to carry the cash. It may not work for all, but I always keep 1K on my tab account not my favorite place to fuel or park, but I would not pass on the Convience if I have to drive another 10-20-30 miles.

Lots of good valid points It is cheaper toi provide in house products Ie krogger brand groceries, car dealers owning there own wreckers, cuts out the middleman prices even companies that use there own expiditing trucks to move their product.. If they can do things cheaper,better and give us what we want its good..if it not what we want we go across the street...vote with your wallet. cuz they do want all the money they can make.. but so do I. Capitolism is a huge boat that turns slowly but it really works the best in the end(not perfect)... Government controlled entities in the history of man has "NEVER" ever ever worked ...So my pernt is take that truck to the TA ... if the J cant provide the service ,or product we want at the price we want some body else eventually will. But dont let those idiots in the gov do it for you ..remember they have guns and laws to force you to do it . Im not a fan of flying J bye the way but will use them.
