Uber does the same thing. I noticed this one time when a friend was asking for the same ride. He has a basic credit card and i have a platinum amex card. My ride was 40% higher for the same trip
I don’t believe you because I hardly believe anything i read in comment sections. People are normally under informed or being malicious.
But in any case I still use it because I find it useful regardless of this custom pricing
And this entire time, nobody has generated definitive proof that this is happening which is a photo of two phones side by side going to the same location listing different prices despite how easy such proof would be to generate.
It's the same as the whole "Yelp deletes reviews if you don't buy ads" or "Facebook is listening to your microphone and serving you up ads". Proof is easy to generate and yet it never appears, only endlessly more anecdotes and speculation.

I would not do something as stupid using cards to discriminate pricing.
Now of course, we live in a society where the courts would never actually make that link, so you can argue I'd be a bad leader leaving money on the table like that...
But I'd say that's more a problem with our system than anything.
”They’re charging people using the costco mastercard more!”
”Yeah, and?”
”Well, everyone knows that the jews love costco, and you can’t discriminate against an ethnic minority!”
Cash app targets underbanked people... guess what demographics are underbanked: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2021/unbanked-and-underbank...
So guess who they market heavily to: https://trapital.co/2020/03/18/how-hip-hop-helped-cash-app-g...
It's not racist, but it does make people look at uncomfortable truths about equality...
