And as others have pointed out, many times they will tell me I just used it at 2 or 3 other places. It probably is the frequency...have you ever used it at wal-mart first and had this happen? Not that I'm a fan of wal-mart, but is probably the company that issued the card. would check with them. in this day and age you would think they would know that people make multiple stops in a day.<br />Keep us all up to date on what happens....<br />remember if you laugh about it you wont create red ugly eyes and more wrinkles that crying would.<br />Sailors vocabulary also helps.<br />Donna W.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316350785635987648.post-21603593623846750032011-10-28T05:25:40.738-05:002011-10-28T05:25:40.738-05:00A lot of times I have told clerks to put my card i...A lot of times I have told clerks to put my card in a plastic checkout bag and re-swipe with the slightly thicker combination of credit card and plastic bag -- and the stupid thing would take just like it was a brand new card.<br /><br />But the bigger thing is why should you care what the people behind you think? You are there attempting to do legal business and you have done nothing wrong. <br /><br />I used to have problems with Discover over rapid re-use, or re-use out of my "typical purchase zone."

Just about drives me crazy. So we have a back up because the frustration of fighting with the other card is just not healthy for me. I get way too angry.

The reason WalMart employees have "May I Help You" on the back of their shirts is for the purpose of the customer being able to read the words as they walk away. I support the local mom and pop grocery stores and local farmers and they DO value me as a human being who is spending money in their stores!!<br />Karen in Fayetteville, ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316350785635987648.post-33804848639666706802011-10-27T17:01:39.344-05:002011-10-27T17:01:39.344-05:00Just a thought ... You used your card three times ...Just a thought ... You used your card three times in a relatively short period of time before the Walmart decline. Several years ago I had my wallet stolen at my health club. The thief used the card right away and in three quick stops charged over $500. Then she (it was stolen in the ladies locker room) tried to charge some at a Kmart. The card was automatically declined because of the frequent use in a short time. I called Visa within two hours of the theft, and they had already stopped the card. The thief just walked out of Kmart and was never caught.<br /><br />If it had been me that had made the charges, they told me I could have called and they would have removed the decline.<br /><br />My daughter has also had hers declined when she went to Mexico and made several purchases in a short time.<br /><br />I think the Walmart manager should have handled it better, but what could he do?Merikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378095339747943548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316350785635987648.post-7899711484126059372011-10-27T16:29:54.007-05:002011-10-27T16:29:54.007-05:00You GO girl!!!!!
