How much is the merchant credit card discount in the USA?

When I took accounting, we learned that credit card companies don’t reimburse merchants for the entire purchase price. Instead, they short the merchant a small cut that they keep for processing the transaction. In my classes, we used 2% for all cards.

But that was many years ago and in academia. In the real world right now, what is the merchant discount for the various credit cards (Visa, Master Card, AMEX, Discover)?

Thanks!

How much is the chrysler green sheet discount?

We have friends who work for Chrysler and they offered to help us get a new car through their worker discount program. Is it really a wonderful deal? I know buying brand new is super expensive and I am wondering if we are better off buying something slightly used.

Where can I get a really wonderful discount for Adobe products?

I need to buy a copy of Adobe Creative Suite for college, but the original price (00) scares me. My educational institute offers it at a discount (0), which is wonderful, but are there any sites that offer something less?

When you bought your copy (if you use one), how much did you pay? And why? Thanks.

Can my Grandma from CA get the discount on Disneyland admission tickets for me if I live in AZ?

My friends and I are planning a trip to Disneyland as sort of our senoir trip, and we live in AZ. My grandmother lives in CA, would we be able to validly get the Cali resident discount on Disneyland admission tickets if she bought them for us?
I should also add. I know for a fact that Dsneyland offers discounts to local southern california residents. My granmother is a Souther CA resident. Does Disneyland require that the actual users of the admission tickets are from Southern Cali, or is it just who buys them is from Southern CA? Do they ask for ID at the gate or anything like that?

What is the appropriate discount rate to use to discount future taxes I must pay on a condo I might buy?

There are actually two condos I might buy – one has an abatement (no taxes for first 10 years, phased in for the next 5 years, then full taxes after that). The other condo is cheaper but has no abatement. I have everything set up to do an NPV analysis, but I’m not sure what discount rate to use. I think it’s the the 30-year T-bill rate, and I think that’s somewhere in the mid 4s right now. Is that correct?
