retailer to process the credit card transaction, whichever is less.

A customer shall not be considered to have chosen to use a credit

a different price for a funds transmission service based on the mode

of transmission used in the transaction without violating this

section so long as the price charged for a service paid for with an

open-end credit card or debit card account is not greater than the

price charged for such service if paid for with currency or other

similar means accepted within the same mode of transmission.
