Why the surcharge exists and what payment types are fee-free.
Is Bookmobile/Itasca Books charging a credit card surcharge?
Yes. Itasca Books and Bookmobile are charged a processing fee for credit cards, and this surcharge covers those costs.
How much is the credit card surcharge?
The surcharge is 3%. Please note that in some states, the surcharge is taxable, so you will see an additional line item for the tax on the surcharge.
Does the credit card surcharge count as a Junk Fee under Minnesota's new law?
Minnesota’s junk fee law went into effect on January 1st, 2025. Credit card surcharges are not affected by this law as they are deemed reasonably avoidable as long as alternate payment methods are allowed.
How can I avoid paying a surcharge?
Bank transfers (ACH) and paper checks are fee-free. If you are not in the U.S., please reach out for additional options.
