Hello All

Anyone know of a Ford Dealer who would accept AMEX, even if they pass on some of the merchant fee?

Quick update:

Took a number of phone calls to dealers but got there in the end.

I've bought from Holiways 132 miles away in the North East. 3% surcharge for AMEX (2% other cards) but with the discount I secured was only £120 more than the best cash price I'd got from other dealers. Triggers my BA 241 and about 20,000 BA miles too. I should be clear that the balance will be paid in full when the statement arrives - not worth it if you end up paying interest.

FWIW - Gates dealerships in the South (Stevenage etc) also take AMEX for 3%.

Thanks for the compliment NH ;-)
