WASHINGTON —
Americans buying stamps or mailing Christmas parcels can use credit cards for the first time this holiday season.
More than 6,000 post offices have been connected for credit- and debit-card use in the last five months, Postal Service Treasurer Stephen Kearney said Friday.
Credit-card trademark stickers on the door--just like stores and restaurants--identify the offices accepting the cards.
The offices will accept payment via American Express, Discover, Visa, Master Card and most debit cards, he said.
