We accept charge cards for our shop and benefit dinner, but discourage them for admission or membership. People are usually pretty good about understanding that we have to pay fees for accepting the cards and that their admission or membership money "should" not be wasted that way. janice Janice Klein Director, Mitchell Museum of the American Indian [log in to unmask] www.mitchellmuseum.org -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Susannah West Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 10:33 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: charge cards I would appreciate hearing folks' thoughts re small museums being able to accept charge cards. I know that we've lost some tours as well as occasional gift shop sales because people are not able to charge their purchases. However, I can just imagine people wanting to charge their $3 admissions, and that would definitely NOT be to our advantage!
