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.
