Is it legal to give store discounts with store credit card purchases but not cash? (BANKRUPTCY & CONSUMER CREDIT)

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 18:55:00 GMT

I visited a sears store in Omaha Nebraska and wanted to buy a $1,000 purchase. The salesperson informed me that I could get a 10% discount by paying for the item with a sears charge card. I applied for the sears card but was not apporved. I asked for the same 10% discount with a cash purcahse but was turned down. The sales manager stated that she had to treat all the customers the same and if she gave me 10% discount she would have to give everyone 10% discount. I told her that she was not treating all the customers the same because sears card users got a 10% discount but I (with a cash purchase) did not.
Is this a form of credit discrimination, since I was not able to qualify for the sears card thus was not able to take advange of the 10% discount?
Where should I look to find out more on credit law?
Please advise,
