On the PASA website http://www.pasa.org....ide_credit.html I got the following information: May a merchant charge me an additional amount when I choose to pay with my credit card? No, a merchant may not “penalise” (generally known as a surcharge in the industry) you for using a credit card for a purchase transaction. The amount charged should match the displayed or advertised price. The merchant may, however, offer a discount off the displayed price for cash transactions. Stil holding on to your "MAYBE for future events bla, bla, bla" Or just passing the bucket to the organisers?

Dear Christo After all these complaints, the best you can come up with is "MAYBE for future events bla bla bla". Not very customer orientated is it?

Solis, you very obvious are a member of the championchip organisation, you did not enter the Kremetart or the Carousel but timed them!! Fact is: the carousel was advertised in YOUR email (is the R5300.00 email fee an other hubber mentioned you charge the organiser true?) and when you are done with entering and come to the paying part the surcharge and admin fee are added. So much for "tranparency" The Sondela Bela Bela apparently choose to include these cost in the entree fee, because it was not added after entering. Would be interesting to get some reply from the organisers of the Bela Bela how this option worked out for them, because as championchip is known for their greed you must have ripped them off in a different way.

I wanted to enter the Carousel road race on the championchip website. It is advertised as R220,- for the 110km, but after completing the process I discovered that 4,5% is added as a card surcharge and a R7,50 admin fee. Is this the new way of lifting the fee? is this card surcharge legal? What do you people think of this new way of making races even more expensive than they already are?
