kung natupad na yung batas na yan, bakit marami paring store ang gumagawa ng ganun, lalong lalo na sa mga malls (mga nagtitinda ng cellphone), pag cash prices mas mura. pag credit card mas mahal ang price.

For me, the order don’t really have much impact. I mostly use my credit cards on stores with no extra charges. If not, I just pay cash or even avoid buying on such stores unless it is really necessary.

Sorry to be a bit pessimistic.
I wouldn’t get my hopes on this.
I think the vendors will just..by default.. bump up the prices on listed on their price tags, then offer a “discount” for cash buyers.
Kung baga, binaligtad lang nila yung pricing.

I’ve seen this done in a number of appliance and gadget stores.
Before making a purchase, I ask them :
ME: may surcharge ba ito kung gamitin ko ang credit card ko?
Store Clerk: WALA SER.
ME: Great!
Store Clerk: Pero ser, may discount kayo ng 5% if you pay in cash.

It’s about time! It should have been made retroactive, so that the fleecing can be reversed.

That’s great to hear. In clothes stores, they impose up to about a hundred pesos more on a single article of clothing if you decide to charge it. I’ve always wondered why some of them had to do it when others could offer credit card payments without extra charges.
