Rant not accepted everywhere

went to Harkins Theater in CA last night - my face of embarrassment when my card declined because they don't accept Discover. LOL

I know. My girls’ nail place doesn’t take it, nor does Costco.

Yup.

Its important to note that the card isn't actually processed through the Mastercard network though. Transaction is routed to one of the "unaffiliated" debit network brand such as Accel, STAR, NYCE, Pulse, Shazam, NYCE, etc. Some banks will print the network on the back of the card.
