> Costco used to make you pay with a debit card, if I remember correctly.
Costco, gas stations, and some mom & pop shops really want to save on that credit card processing fee.
Personally, I consider missing out on the cash discount at a gas station a convenience & fraud protection fee.

Costco used to have an exclusivity deal with AmEx that prevented other credit cards from being accepted. They did accept debit cards however.
They now have a deal with Visa, along with their own branded Visa card but will accept any bank's Visa card.
But those are pretty much edge cases. Credit builder and secured credit cards exist for people with poor or no credit.
