Telus will soon add a 1,5% fee for clients who pay with their credit card, except for those in Québec.

The Loi pour la protection du consommateur makes it illegal for a company to charge more than the advertised price. The courts also ruled that paying with a credit card isn’t a good reason to add fees, as it’s just a payment method, not another service added to the bill.

You have the power to circumvent the CRTC. Your provincial MPs can vote for stricter pro-consumer laws.
