When I've dealt with situations like that (large purchases of cycles, snowmobiles, tractors, cars) any dealer I've worked with has capped the amount you can put on a card towards purchase (usually a down payment). Typically $500 or so. For exactly that reason... because it is going to cost them around 3% on that money and that isn't factored into the cost model for a product like that (unlike buying a TV at Best Buy, for instance).
I paid for 22k worth of bricks with a cc. They wouldn’t accept a check upon delivery and I didn’t want to drive to the next town over to hand deliver the check. I was surprised they went for the cc without extra fees.
