Unfortunately, in most cases, you are not given the option of the discount for not using a credit card - the cost is baked in and amortized over all transactions. Aside from a few gas stations that offer a cash discount and under-the-table transactions, I've seen so benefit to not using a credit card.

This is rather baked in agreements that the merchants signed with the credit card companies, where it is stipulated that they must not make goods cheaper for cash paying customers.

Most are worded such that a merchant can't "charge more for using a credit card", making cash discounts OK.
