Pretty sure that UPcharging for using credit is legal everywhere. There was a lawsuit against Visa/MC a few years back. Merchants are allowed to surcharge up to, but not exceeding, their card processing rate. This rate varies wildly, from 1% or below for big retailers like Walmart and Amazon, to 5% for small low volume retailers.
