Discover credit cards, starts tracking purchase.

As of April, Discover credit cards will reportedly be joining a larger initiative to track when cardholders make purchases at gun stores. It also noted that even if a customer used the card to purchase non gun or ammunition items, it would still be logged as a 'gun shop' purchase.
SO, if you carrythe Discover card, from now on, USE CASH!!!
Wow!!

You’re a really fart smeller I mean a really smart fella.

Thanks for contributing. Please come again.
 
Ready for your federal reserve bank account
You have been flagged by your credit card co of a suspicious purchase
This is one step closer to Sorry that purchase of Guns/Ammo is not approved by the federal reserve bank
Or we have to investigate this transaction we will back to you whenever with our finding's
Since the federal reserve is private, No Constitutional laws broken


 
Good thing we have cash as an option, no? Or money orders (purchased with cash) if we need to mail it.
 
I think it’s 50/50 for the reason not to take Amex.
Half because of the fees
Half because of how they handle customer disputes. (Merchant loses and gets screwed and stops taking the card)
Spot on. Merchant loses immediately if a customer files a chargeback.

The high merchant fees are just rubbing salt in the wound.
 
Stuart Varney and Lauren Simonetti were talking about this yesterday on his Fox show. Lauren pointed out even if he just purchased clothing at a store that sells guns he'd be flagged. Stuart torched the credit card companies for this tactic.
 
They have known what your purchases are for years. They just now gave them a specific merchant code. If you are concerned with privacy this much than using a third party service like a credit card or a check from a bank or anything outside of cash probably isn't for you.
 
It's kinda funny how this seems more like a SciFi movie
Maybe this will go with this..
Just remember the powers that be say it's all a conspiracy theory......
Like the wuhan virus coming from wuhan

They don't yet "know what your purchases are" -- normal consumer credit cards, the bank just gets the barest of information -- time, date, merchant name, and the merchant category code (MCC). The change everybody is freaking out about is simply creating a unique MCC for guns & ammo. So for example l online gun retailers previously were processed under the "5941-Sporting Goods Store" or even “general merchandise” category.

Your bank could, based on categorization, require additional verification that the purchase isn't fraudulent, or just deny the transaction. Or they could be required to report you to FinCEN , as was proposed in the "Gun Violence Prevention Through Financial Intelligence Act"
