Not that I care one way or the other but it's actually a partial regression 
to an earlier way, not something new.  When "credit cards" first became common, 
small outfits who couldn't afford to issue their own credit cards could, for 
a heft fee, set up to take the general purpose ones.  Large ones, like oil 
companies, Sears, etc., issued their own cards.  If you wanted to use a credit 
card you used theirs.  Period.  If you didn't, you paid cash (or check, etc.).
