Will Merchants Be Allowed to Reject Rewards Cards?
Ann asks how the settlement changes card acceptance, and hosts explain merchants could decline high-fee rewards cards under the agreement.
Episode 62: Today, Ann examines the evolution of Instacart - from marketplace to software-as-a-service - and where the new CEO wants to go next. Then we discuss the potential changes coming to payments and why your pricey rewards card may be rejected by some merchants. Plus in honor of Veterans Day, we welcome asset manager Ted Oakley to share not only his market perspectives, but lessons learned from his time in the Army.
