Downgrades

Non-qualified Surcharges also known as -downgrades- are a result of transactions that are assessed higher fees from Visa and MasterCard and are passed on to the merchant. Some non-qualified surcharges occur on specific cards (i.e. Visa Signature Card, Visa Infinite Card, MasterCard World Card, and -foreign- cards issued outside the United States ) as well as commercial cards such as Fleet Cards, Corporate Cards, GSA cards and Purchase Cards. A transaction can also be classified as non qualified if it does not contain all the attributes of a qualified transaction (i.e. batching out the same day a transaction was a uthorized, key entering a swipe transaction)
