I like some of your ideas but I don't think giving a discount is a good idea. Market prices should be determined by supply and demand and it goes against the idea of having sound money to offer discounts to those who use it.

Don't get too hung up on how it's exactly structured. A price that exempts the credit card fee for non credit card purchases IS the market price based on supply and demand. The credit card fee is a distortion of that market price. I your point is that you'd prefer a 2-3% penalty for credit card customers only instead, that's fine. But ultimately, it's 6 in one; half-a-dozen in the other.
