I don't know there should be a law requiring government fiat, but I do see your qualms with having to siphon the transaction through an interest producing instrument. Then again, pay the balance in full each cycle and no problem there. I generally use my check card and only use credit cards every so often to keep them from getting shut down (which actually happened to me recently).

Edit: But I do respect their ability for a business to accept what they wish, and has been pointed out I can take my business elsewhere. If they want to accept bottle caps or bowling balls that's fine by me. My initial post was just because I apparently had the incorrect thought that there was a requirement to accept cash.

I had to take my car into my insurance place to get an estimate for some work done. I've never had to actually use my insurance before so the whole process was new to me. They said, if I wanted, they could take care of outsourcing the work for me. Whether or not that was the best idea or not, I figured I'm already having to drop it off for this estimate, sure, go ahead and do this extra leg work for me. In the end I don't feel like I got ripped off or anything, and that's not the point of this post.

They said, "and we don't accept personal checks, or cash, but we do accept visa and mastercard!". I wasn't planning on paying in cash anyway so this was no inconvenience to me but that statement maid me pause. I thought a business had to accept cash for payment if it was offered.

I didn't say anything at the time but when I go back I plan on asking them about this to get their take. Maybe when I go back I should bring a bag of gold with a $ on it "I remembered you said you didn't accept cash, so I brought this"

FYI my insurance company is Progressive.
