Base Payment by Credit Card

Quick Question,

We received our base stage invoice from Metricon and as we are paying for the first stage with cash, we noticed you can pay via Credit Card ? (thinking about all the QFF Points)

We payed the 3 deposits by Credit Card without any fees but on the invoice it states additional charges may apply ... Any one though what these charges are if any?

Thanks

Just taking a stab in the dark, I know some credit card companies charge businesses a % of sale for fees. So this might be 1-3% depending on cc company. I know diners and Amex usually charge more than visa and MasterCard. Sometimes the company passes this on to the customer because as you can imagine even 1% of a 50,000 payment is a fair bit of money! It would definitely be worthwhile asking what exactly the fees are and then working out if it's still worthwhile doing it for the FF points.

I paid the deposit on my last house by credit card for the FF points, but for all other payments we would have had to pay a credit card surcharge so we used bank transfer.
