Why should the vendor pay? Again, I don't think the credit card company
exchanges money on a daily basis. I don't think they even bill the
vendor on a daily basis. Also, the vendor is dealing with their local
branch of the credit card company. I wouldn't be surprised if the
branches of the credit card companies only pass money back and forth on
a quarterly (or perhaps monthly) basis.
