I wish I had a link other than twitter but I do not and yes, the 911 post was all in caps.

This is the future when social credit scores are enforced. I suggest everyone go back to using cash. Yes, you will give up the cash back from your credit card but you will help keep cash alive.

By the way, can anyone tell me why Weasel Zippers is not welcome here?

"Visa and Mastercard will no longer work in Russia"

Damn! So much for that luxurious vacation I had planned to Siberia this spring.

I would have laughed harder if you wrote “next winter” instead of “this spring”.

Oy Western cards. Congress is going to pass legislation that bars any company in the US from doing any business that does any business in Russia.

Sure. However this is why our Republican representatives, led by Cheney, hope to create the classification of domestic terrorist for Trump supporters. It will be impossible to function in society.

At least we’re getting a preview of where social credit scores are headed. They’re doing it on a grand scale first so all us little peons can be quaking in our boots. Russia is being canceled

Did they do this for Iran or other scurrilous states?

Isn’t it ridiculous that they’re allowed to do this! What I mean is essentially if a credit card company doesn’t like a country or state, a country or state bans abortion, a country or state refuses to recognize the mental defects that are lgbtqrstuv and the list can be whatever the woke CEO’s have on their agenda. They screw the country or state economically. Could this happen in Florida? You bet.

Russian banks are switching to a Chinese card system as quickly as they can. Chinese will soon run Russian Banks?
... What could possible go wrong?

The 'cash back' is coming from the inflated prices paid for products secondary to credit card use.

I ask for a 'cash discount' when ever I pay cash for things. A lot of 'no', but sometimes 'yes'. I'd figure it's worth about 3 - 5%.

Using cash all of the time is either impractical or downright impossible.

Is the Discover card still honored worldwide?

Exactly! It’s like a shot across the bow that the little plebes need to start towing the line or this could happen to you too

Apparently VISA cards will still work “in country” for Russians:
“...Once complete, all transactions initiated with Visa cards issued in Russia will no longer work outside the country...”
