All credit card surcharges are illegal in the state of California, according to California Civil Code Section 1748.1, which states: "No retailer in any sales, service, or lease transaction with a consumer may impose a surcharge on a cardholder who elects to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check, or similar means."

This also counts for debit cards
