I was under the impression (I should dig out my contract) that
merchant contracts also forbid charging more for a charge than for
cash or conversely "discount for cash!" but I see so many violations
of that particularly at gas stations I wonder if that's negotiable in
the contract.

I remember my father buying a car and pulling out a credit card asking
if they accepted them? The dealer said sure no problem so he said fine
then take another 3% (whatever) off I'll pay cash/check.
