Pay at the grocery store with two credit cards

January 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’ve been noticing a trend that many retailers are making it easy to pay for a transaction in more than one way: with both cash and a payment card, or with multiple payment cards. I first noticed this when paying for a couple of household items at Target.  I know it can also be done with payments on Apple’s website also.

Not sure if this this is a symptom of high credit card debt or not. It certainly makes it easier to pay cash for a portion of an item and finance the rest. Or, it could be due to innovation by payment systems. Or maybe they’re just making it easier for people to share purchases — for example, two roommates who can split the cost of the cleaning products they buy at Target.
