Anybody Else Seeing Massive Credit Card Declines This Past Week?

3 replies
Our credit card declines have tripled or quadrupled in the past week. Anybody else seeing the same thing?

I'm wondering if there was a big hacker event and one (or more) of the credit card companies issued new cards to thousands of account holders?

    Do you have a lot of people suddenly hitting their card expiration dates?

      No. We looked into that, but the CC expiration dates are all over the place. So, doesn't seem to appear to be the issue.

      Was just wondering if one of the big CC companies had canceled a bunch of accounts recently, like Advanta did in 2009 when they dumped 1 million accounts, overnight.

        i wouldn't be surprised, we have a bigger than 2008 credit crunch coming soon. A key tell is rapid retraction of credit.
