It ain't that hard to get Jim Irwin on the phone. You should try it
instead of airing dirty laundry in this forum. Especially since credit
cards
get randomly rejected from time to time, based on any number of glitches
in
the systems that span the distance between the card reader and the credit
card company.

That's news to me, and yes, I accept credit cards in my business
daily! Maybe Mrs. Hitler made a mistake so an authorization wasn't
possible.



ACS uses a system that not only does the authorization as the normal swipe
system does but also matches the Bill To information (Numbers in the Street
Address, Zip Code and maybe Phone number) to what the card company has in
their records. No Match/No Authorization.

With Debit cards many banks don't release that info to the system so you get
a refused card.
