But we do have some credit cards that don't offer rewards, and they don't charge any lower fees to merchants than ones that do offer rewards do.

It's not about the card per se, it's about the network.

Visa/Mastercard in Norway is about as expensive as in the US. The US doesn't have a widespread miniscule fee/no rewards card network option however, like BankAxept is in Norway.

As a former merchant, this was not my experience -- I recall seeing a notable difference between fees on similar transactions, and the tracing those differences back to rewards cards.

Do you remember the brand of any of the credit cards with the lower-than-usual fees?
