Using Debit Card to purchase a $2 dollar item?

Before anything; I bank with Wells Fargo.

So I have this debit card, and I went to 7-Eleven to purchase 2 items that in total were ~ .00; will there be an “extra fee” for purchasing something of that amount?

And if so, how much will that “extra fee” be?

Thanks.

Chosen Answer:

Well, there wont’ be any fee of any sort charged on the end of Wells Fargo, I can promise you that. If you want to, you can charge a penny to your debit card, they are fee free on the bank’s end. The only charge would be if 7-Eleven said they’ll charge you a “convenience fee” if your purchase less than a certain amount. Firstly, they tack this on to your total, not the backend. Secondly, this is a violation of their merchant processing agreement, and 7-Eleven is too big to commit such a violation.

All in all, you won’t be seeing any additional fees! Charge as little as you want. I hope this helps!

    My rule of thumb has been if it costs under 20.00 don’t use the card. You can’t afford it.
