I know its not uncommon at small business to ad a surcharge for using cards on purchases below a certain dollar value rather than a discount for cash.

This is explicitly forbidden by almost all card processing networks (and by the government, in many countries). If you report a business who is doing this to the card processor, they'll likely get their card processing privileges suspended.

What's the difference between giving discounts for cash and adding surcharges for cards?

I thought they changed the rules around this ~6 years ago, and it’s now allowed (at least in the US)?
