Choice of credit/charge cards in TV
Is there a good reason why most of the establishments in TV do not accept the American Express card? I realize that they charge a slightly higher fee to the merchant to process payments, but I've personally found that no company is better at backing up the consumer than AMEX. Since I don't carry credit card balances, I don't mind paying their annual fee for the great customer service they provide. Their purchase guarantee program has helped me out several times without any hassles, and the points on their reward program get you some pretty good merchandise and gifts.
Is it a management decision on the part of TV or do the merchants themselves decide what cards they accept here? I'd particularly like to use AMEX in the country club restaurants like Lopez, Mallory, etc.
