In Denmark they usually charge you extra if you use a credit card.

That's against the law:

> Businesses in Denmark and the EU may not charge a fee for your payment with Dankort, Visa/Dankort, Visakort, MasterCard and other ordinary payment cards issued in the EU.

> Company cards are exempt from the ban. Shops may charge a fee if you use a payment card issued to a company or public organisation.

This is not to be celebrated. It's regulatory, capture plain and simple. Cash purchasers are subsidizing those with credit cards (and the pithy rewards they pay).

What are you talking about? Interchange fees are aggressively capped in the EU and credit cards don't give rewards. It's not the USA.
