I've seen different cash vs credit prices before, but I guess it just hasn't migrated everywhere yet. It is my understanding that a vendor has to pay the credit company a percentage of the transaction amount for the use of the credit service and that the vendor is just trying to recoup that expense. What really bugs me is when a gas station has a big sign that advertises a low price which only applies if you pay cash. I think some states have laws that mandate that such signs must also indicate that the price is cash only.
