Using a credit card at 7/11?

[Hal65]

Normally they do not seem to be allowed but I saw a sign in Thai showing off Visa and 500. Not being able to read it I was wondering if it said "VISA accepted for purchases over 500 baht." Does anyone know?

An enthusiastic member report:

300 Baht minimum he writes. VISA only.

So now 300 or 500?

I haven't seen the sign, so can't tell.

 

Enthusiasm of TV members about CC use at a grocery store is limited.

They mean debit cards with a Visa logo. If the card has a Union Pay logo they do not accept it. If it has two logo's preference is given to Visa and you will be charged by them.

Union pay is bkk bank only very very few places accept them. 7-11 no problem with bkk bank visa over 300bht. Use it alot in 7- 11 on trips in car.

Maybe it was 300, I don't remember. Guess I can't use my US credit card then (since it's credit)

I saw a sign saying I can pay with a Visa card if I spend more than 300 Baht at my local 7/11 a week or two ago. It was definitely 300 Baht.

I used my Visa credit card a couple times during the past few days, in two different 7eleven, no problem at all.

Just few days ago tried to pay for flight tickets... But nobody in the whole 7-11 didn't know how to do it!!!!

 

First they said I can't pay by card - of course, the standard answer by lazy and incapable staff. Pointed to the five VISA signs I saw... long story short, had to pay in cash anyway
