Is it legal to offer a Cash Discount?
As Mitchell Katz, spokesman for the Federal Trade Commission, said in May 2011, “The Dodd-Frank Law prohibits a payment card network such as Visa from inhibiting the ability to provide a discount for payment by cash, checks, debit cards or credit cards… neither surcharging nor cash discounting is illegal."
Is there anything you can show me that proves it's legal?
From NBCNews.com…
Visa, MasterCard in $7.3 billion settlement over credit card fees.
Plaintiffs attorney Martin Lueck, chairman of the executive board of Robins, Kaplan, said the allowed “surcharge” is actually a pro-consumer provision of the settlement. “Really it’s a discount that the merchants are now allowed to offer for the less expensive form of payments,” he said. He also said merchants would for the first time be allowed to disclose how much it costs them to accept credit cards.

Is this the same as a surcharge?
This is not a credit or debit card surcharge program which is not allowed in several states. Slice provides you with a technology that allows you to offer discounts to its customers who chose to pay using cash or check which is allowed in all states.
