I understand why credit cards are better for liquid customers (who enjoy the interest free loan if they pay the bills on time), networks and the banks (they get the commission) but I fail to understand what would merchants gain accepting credit cards when they have a choice of accepting a relatively inexpensive and almost equivalent medium of payment in the form of debit cards. Anticipating higher sales doesn’t sound very convincing to me!
