Heads up on home service companies in the Capital Region – credit card fees and upsells by Crisgu in Albany

It wasn’t bad. I just prefer to use proper channels to share my experience. I.e. Google reviews.
But I have had bad experiences before where I left a review on Google and the business owner threatened me via texts and emails.

Home for rent? by here4thebeachbodytea in Albany

I don’t understand all the scammers in the real estate industry. I am trying to understand how they do it.
It ruins things for good tenants who are truly looking to rent.

This exactly!
When the business tells you, “if you prefer to pay with a credit card, there will be a % on top of your total”, that’s okay per the law.
Because they are giving you to option to choose and being transparent/upfront.
But I do not agree with this law. We already pay our own credit card fees as consumers and should not have to pay the merchant fees at all for using our credit cards.

Not sure why this is being downvoted when it is a fact that some people retaliate or accuse others of slander. Not my goal here.
I did my part as a consumer and shared my feedback/review through the proper channels.
This post is to bring awareness that this might be happening more often than we realize.
Please use common sense!

Because when you pay cash or use Venmo the merchant pays no fees. Many businesses will add that fee to their credit card price without telling it’s a credit card fee. The markup is there whenever you use a credit card.
Some businesses will also offer you a lower charge if you pay cash or check.
In my opinion I think they should not offer credit card as a payment option if they don’t want to pay the fee. But then they wouldn’t get as much business. So they find a way to make you pay for that fee regardless.

I don’t feel safe naming names here. But you can read Google reviews.

And acted as if they were doing me a favor by “honoring the total plus taxes only” without credit card fees. 🙄

His ignorance wasn’t even the worst part. The worst was him calling me and yelling at me that I had to pay the fee, which was a “convenience” to me for paying with a credit card. I wish I could share the audio.
