I think it probably has to do with credit card laws. For processing the
credit card, the retailer is charged a certain fee. It's illegal though
in many places to pass that cost onto the seller. Many retailers get
around this by offering a "cash discount" because it's not illegal to
offer a discount on a price. Don't know how you can manipulate that
situation in this case though.
