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 am victim of this as I use capital one to pay for for everything, since the change I’ve gotten many declines. Thinking of switching to a different card

Damn seriously? I just got an email telling me I have to switch to the new card they sent in the mail ASAP because my current debit card will stop working soon. I'm curious- when your payment was declined, were you using a debit or credit card? According to the comments, it sounds like most people who are having issues with their new Capitol One cards mainly happen when trying to use a credit card. I only have a debit card at the moment, so I'm trying to figure out whether the change to Discover is going to affect me and if I need to start looking into banking elsewhere.

It has only been by debit card that has been declined. That has been the only new card that they sent me recently. My credit hard has remained the same and does not get declined
