Nah, they'll just charge merchants more and more to be allowed to run transactions. You know those "rewards" cards everyone has? I learned awhile ago that the
merchant is the one paying that extra reimbursement back to you, not the credit card company. It's something they have to put up with if they want to allow their customers the convenience of using credit cards.
The kids' preschool tacks on a 2% surcharge for anyone using a credit card instead of a check, plus an additional 3% if it is a rewards card.
