What the hell is up with Mastercard

All of my Mastercards have getting declined lately. Even when opening an account at Bank of America, they said for the initial deposit, they don't accept MC but a Visa would be fine.

Yesterday, I went to our Buddy Christ Supplier and placed the order. The guy called me since we have ordered a few and said, the MC was declined. So, I pulled out my trusty "one" Visa card and it went through without a problem.

I have been seeing it on a lot of other sites that I usually have no problem with now declining MC charges.

As you know, I have nothing but Master Card's (only Visa I have is ePassporte) and I haven't had any problems - orders a bunch of shit online over the last few weeks & everything seems fine.

I'm with Greenguy. I have 3 Mastercards and the only Visa I have is epassporte. The wife has a Visa though.

The only problems I have had are mostly due to being Canadian and some companies not inputting the postal code or address correct so the address shows as wrong with my cc company and they decline it.

Hmmm...I thought it was our bank. So, I tried a regular Mastercard CC and still declined.

I have 6 Mastercards and 1 Visa but I am calling everyone that takes care of the mastercards to see if I can switch today.

But, when Bank of America won't take a Mastercard, there is some problem going on.

That just means they only deal with Visa, much like Citibank is all Master Card.

You need to watch more live TV so you can catch all those "They Only Accept Visa" commercials

No, MC works some places and doesn't work others. And, the trouble is not just with that one mc. I tried using several at a few places.

As a matter of fact, I went into my Sparky Hosting account and noticed that the MC was declined 11 times. I changed to another MC and tried to pay instantly...declined. So, I sent him a check.

yeah I agree thats strange.. (off subject) I know that my bank visa will decline anything adult, online I know for sure as I know someone who works at the bank I bank at and have my CC card there and thats what they told me.. infact twice now over the cource of 6 or more months ago my bank called me to ask if my hosting that I pay with my CC was a legit transaction...

I almost feel like deleting this thread. I once again tried to make a small purchase using a MC...declined. So, I pulled out a Visa and guess what...declined.

So, I live on West Main Street. Just for the hell of it, I tried using W Main Street instead and guess what happened? Approved

I checked my autofill on my google tool bar and it has been using West Main Street since I moved here. So, they must just be clamping down a little bit.

Anyway...nevermind

Awwwww, and here I was starting to think the corporate right wingers were jerking you around for your 2257 stand. Or maybe they decided that you are in the same basket as Impulse.
