Don’t
let a retailer charge you extra for card payments, or dictate how much you must
spend, says Wendy Knowler in this week’s Consumerwatch.
IT’S
ILLEGAL!
Someone
asked on Twitter this week: “Can retail stores compel a customer to spend a
minimum amount for card transactions? For eg. no card transactions below R50?’
Some who responded thought they did have the right to do that, so clearly
many consumers aren’t at all sure about their rights in the face of such
retailer rules.

A spokesperson for Old Mutual Insure has estimated that insurance claims from UCT related to the fire could hit the R1 billion mark, whereas Vice-Chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng estimated the damage to be around R500 million.
Neither of those figures can ever replace the historical worth of the diverse historical records, African studies collections, and other materials destroyed in the blaze.
With his pen at the ready, Zapiro has perfectly illustrated this, whilst reminding us that damage to our country continues day in and day out.
