I remember way back when Arco stopped accepting credit cards. They had some commercial showing their own credit card being destroyed by a wrecking ball. They claimed that they could save money by not accepting credit cards. Now I do remember a local Arco station where the franchise owner elected to accept credit cards at the same price as cash or debit. I went a few times to other locations when they generally accepted debit cards, but there might be something like a 35-40 cent fee, although that was often made up with lower prices.
More recently I've seen some Arco stations that accepted credit cards (and generally debit at the same price now) - typically at a 10 cent premium over cash. However, now it seems to be official that they accept credit cars. I saw a commercial on local TV advertising it, although I'm not sure if this might just be a regional thing.
