The only response from Flying J is that it is complicated, and that response is unofficial but that sign was posted on all of the diesel pumps at the Davenport, IA truck-stop saying they would no longer accept Visa as a form of payment for diesel fuel after May 24,2007. Wonder what happened with Visa?
-
Also similar to Flying J using regular Broadcast Television and inserting their own commercials or commercials to "their" customers.
Flying J HAS applied to be a "Financial Institution" and this may be what would conflict with VISA. -
I RECKIN THE J WANTS TO BE THE LARGEST PLAZA WITH NO BUSNESS.
-
Well I guess It's no more Flying Hook for me. I"ll keep my VISA thank you.
-
With the cash discount the J offers you wouldn't catch me using the visa for fuel. With the price of fuel what it is, every penny adds up. -
Does this mean Master Card is next on their hit list?
-
I doubt it any time soon. MC is the operator of their debit card. -
It could be the fee's the Visa card company charges for the transaction. Many fee's from banks have skyroceketed over the past several months.

The problem I see with this is for people like me, who are probably in the minority. I don't use credit cards for anything. I also don't like carrying much cash around, and I rely on my debit card to make most of my purchases, which happens to be a "visa".
While this will prevent people in my situation from making purchases at their store, they most likely won't notice it financially, because like I said, being a non credit card carrier puts me in the minority, LOL.
