As
noted in last month's statement message, following modifications by
Visa, MasterCard and Discover to certain interchange categories and
fees effective in October 2007, most merchants will see increases to
their non-qualified surcharge pricing. For most merchants, the
increase took effect in October 2007, while others will see an increase
beginning with their merchant statement reflecting their November 2007
processing activity.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Card association rules allow a single charge to be deposited for a
single transaction. If a transaction or batch is duplicated, a
“reversal” transaction must be submitted to offset each duplicated sale
or return. The reversal enables the card issuer to match the
reversal to the duplicate sale and avoid charging or crediting the
cardholder more than once per transaction. Credits/returns are
not permitted to correct duplicates.
If you duplicate a portion or all of a batch, DO NOT KEY CREDITS/RETURNS.
Contact Customer Care with details to enable Global to process
reversals. Failure to notify Global Payments promptly to enable
us to prepare “REVERSALS” in a timely manner may result in fines of
$5,000 to $25,000 per occurrence plus per item fees.
Global Payments’ Customer Care can be reached at (800) 367-2638.
