Happened to me recently when we were purchasing some entertainment in Long Beach for Catalina Island....declined. I just pulled out another card and it went through.

"It’s a flat-out lie.....someone on the WH entourage would take care of the bill..."

Agree absolutely.

I doubt there was even a bill.
