Interesting experience yesterday.
Went to a Kroger to use my Wells Fargo Credit Card to buy three $500 gift cards. Got "Not Authorized - Over limit". I left and called WF, they say no decline came through. Went to another Kroger and got same error. Still no decline at WF. My hubby got the same error at a third Kroger.
Are they now figuring out a way to "track" the credit card used and limit it across stores in a geographic area?
