Hello everyone.
My wife has tried to buy a PAYG phone. Carphone Warehouse would sell the phone at �25 if she paid with her card but they would charge her �35 (�10 more) if she paid cash for it.
Is this allowed? Why would they do that?

yes it is allowed - an analogy would be the electricity company who gives you a discount for paying by DD.the best thing she can do is refuse to buy and go elsewhere.
Another example might be that previously she may have said "do i get a discount for cash" and some shops might have said yes. There is nothing illegal about this

I think it is a bit more sinister - pay by cash and you are anonymous.

Pay by card and they know who has bought the phone.
