To recoup their lost profits from legislated reductions in interchange fees, fees which hurt small merchants particularly hard, J.P. Morgan Chase is considering capping the amount a card holder can charge in a single transaction to $100, even if you run the debit card as a credit card.

You'll have to either figure out your cash needs ahead for a certain time period or, shudder, relearn how to write a check!
