I just put in a new furnace and AC unit, total bill was over $12k. I told them that I could write a check if they gave a discount, otherwise would use a credit card. They said a credit card would be fine, no discount for cash. I got 1.5 percent back from that purchase on a rewards card. Small locally owned HVAC company, I expected them to prefer cash but they apparently see credit card fees as a normal cost of business.
