So, she didn't even let me attempt to use my VGC, but did let me try my Metabank Travel card. I swiped the card, entered my pin and then got the "tender not allowed" message.

I then asked if I could buy a MO since it was "American Express" that was cracking down and she declined to even allow me to attempt to buy a MO.

This is the WM that I go to on average 2-3 times a week all the time and this is the first that I've heard anything like this. This particular cashier has done this for me tens of times before, so she knows me.

I was told that this just happened in the past "week or so".
I had trouble with mb last night--I think they froze it. I'll try VGC today. Updates would be helpful to see if it is a new policy.
