Visa and Mastercard are putting their fees up, from 0.3% to 1.5%. But MC provides Amazon's own credit card so Amazon presumably cut a deal to pay less. Now Amazon are leaning on Visa - and paying MC back for the discount. All to the inconvenience of shoppers who only have one sort of card.

Amazon are mitigating the extra cost of Brexit - for some of us.

There are 66 million credit cards in the UK, used by 36 million people - 65% of the adult population.
