    is there a monthly fee?

      No, they just take a percentage of all the sales you put through.

    • eve2017 on 14/01/2025 - 15:20

      no, I believe it's 1.6% per transaction after using up the $5000 fee free offer

              @plmko: best way is just put a neat little sticker on the reader. if you mention it, they'll think of it as a much bigger deal than it is. if they see it on a sticker and then make a song and dance about it, they are probably not the kind of customer you want repeat business from anyway.

            @tunzafun001: Bakeries and sandwich shops are always there to rip you off, they never put the price on anything. Have to find out what you're paying after you ordered or awkwardly have them go through 5 items in the display case and correct them on which one you were pointing to so they can tell you the price.

              @Agret: My fav was yesterday.
              Got a potato pepper pie (on board for $5.90).
              Get charged $6.20.
              Look at receipt $6, Sauce $0.20

              I say, oh I didn't get sauce.

              She says, we just add that on.

              I say, might as well get the sauce then.

              She says, no, we add the 20 cents for the potato, not the sauce.

              I give a bit of a stare and a head shake ..like a disapproving Dad . . Realise this could go back and forth all day.

              Haven't even raised where the extra 10 cent charge came from - likely said card fee…

          Gov should make a law like GST. Make everything included in the price. Surcharges should only be for credit cards. Debit/eftpos should be exempt.

          I hate the hidden fees.

            +6

            @NeoX: I have seen an increase in the number of establishments charging a "weekend surcharge" instead of just a "Sunday surcharge".

            Yes you have to pay your employees more on a Sunday but you have 10x the customers in that you get on a weekday idk why these surcharges exist. Charging extra on a Saturday is just taking the piss.

            @NeoX: Me too. I've started inserting my card to force EFTPOS. Takes longer but less fees. Also allows you to review the amount instead of just blindly tapping.

        By the time the gov bans on the surcharge, they need impose a monthly fee I guess to keep the service.

        • 1st-Amendment on 14/01/2025 - 16:15

          By the time the gov bans on the surcharge

          Gov has already regulated surcharging on digital transactions back in 2016-2017 from memory.
          Payment providers are allowed to charge a 'reasonable' fee as they are providing a service. Fee for service (or goods) is how all business works.

    • tanned on 14/01/2025 - 15:45

      Don’t you need to pay income tax on all income from that Square reader?!

      • ShadowCuber on 14/01/2025 - 15:48

        I don't think so as I'm not making any income as it's funnelled in and out to myself, the cashback from the CC is non taxable!

          Also known as money laundering. This will get detected at the bank and you'll get a phone call to warn you of your illegal activity before they close all of your accounts.

        • LeDangles on 14/01/2025 - 17:04

          Wait so you have $70k AUD of CRO staked? Holy Shitcoins Batman!

          What's the monthly benefit roughly equate to for you?
          - 5% of spend in cashback ($250-$500 per month maybe?)
          - Spotify & Netflix ($40 per month?)
          - 8.5% interest on your $70k ($500 per month)
          - Airport Lounge Access

          You recommend it or nah?

          All depends on what CRO does I suppose. (profanity) that's a risky way to make $1k per month although you've probably done amazing out of it the last 12 months

    • 12Ghast on 14/01/2025 - 15:53

      You'll almost certainly be banned due to abuse of card promotions.

    The pan handlers could really use this. They ask for spare change, but far less people carry change nowadays. With this, they can start saying, "Can you tap me $2?" (without the 'Better Off Dead' $2 attitude).

  • ueno on 14/01/2025 - 16:48

    Does anyone know if it's $5000 every 180 days or just a once off? And as soon as I signed up, it's prompting me on a referral program, if I refer a friend, do they only get $1000 fee-free bonus and miss out on the $5000?

    • samehada on 14/01/2025 - 21:46
