Credit Card Fees
LU 153 loses the $1 you paid to us to cover $1 of your fees.
(In theory, the Member 1s’ pay it, but you don’t.)
You are also asking the Member 1s’ to pay your other $0.70 in fees.
Therefore, those Member 1s’ said no and voted at a Union Meeting that the fees pass on to the purchaser for the convenience of using a debit or credit card.

Total Amount with Fees

When there isn’t a pandemic, we accept cash, checks, credit or debit cards (4% fee),
and money orders in person.
We also receive payments through the US mail and from drop-offs in the mailbox across the street from the entrance to the Union Hall.
We hope this clears up the question for everyone.
