A merchant/retailer displaying the MasterCard decal in their window refused to accept my MasterCard card.
honestly, i think this should be a new thread. if 100+ closely bunched complaints hit mastercard for the same thing with OD, they would have to respond.

this may very well be a violation of their agreement with mastercard. these products do not say cash only on them. their money laundering excuse is laughable, given that what we are doing is the opposite of money laundering (we actually create a paper trail for the money!)- allowing only cash caters to money laundering.

plain and simply, they are dishonoring the mastercard acceptance promoted in their windows. i think we have a case here.
