Re: Credit Card Minimums
A minimum charge policy is usually a matter of contract between the card issuer and merchant. Accordingly, you can obtain an accurate answer from the issuer.
I am aware that some merchants do reject charges for nominal sums.

Merchants do it all the time since the credit card company charges them a discount fee each time a charge is made.
