I posted a question several months ago asking about the pros, cons and costs associated with taking credit cards as a small business. I have recently found myself in the position of thinking I may want to pursue that ability, but there are many avenues and they all promise the best service.
The cheapest way out seems to be with my local Sam's Club. They offer their service at a fixed cost of 1.98% + $0.26 of the sale and no monthly fees if your are a Business Plus member ($100 a year) and buy the data entry terminal for a one-time cost of $269. We are a business member already, so we would have no additional monthly fee. Their system allows us to take Visa, Master Card and Discover; addtional fees apply for American Express.
Do any of you use Sam's Club service? How do their costs stack up with what you are paying if you use someone else? Any bad experiences with Sam's Club?
