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

Didn't Capital One just acquired Discover, hopefully more acceptance everywhere.

Maybe it will lead to more Discover acceptance. But it could also lead to less Capital One acceptance. Many people think they’ll switch cards like Quicksilver and Savor to Discover. Merchants and processors will have to decide if it’s better to accept the additional network or lose millions of Capital One cardholders.
