For me, it was last Monday. Free pass to the movies after it declined
one credit card (that was current) and two debit cards (on accounts
with adequate balances) and the theater manager's card. Unfortunately,
the concession stand accepted them, so no free food.

At Christmas time, cards will get rejected if too many purchases have been
made in X time period. We'd see it all-the-time at my friend's Play-It-Again
Sports store. 2 out of 3 rejections were for that reason. We figured it out,
after a while, that number of uses (in a short time) was more important than
$ amount - in disqualifying a card.

Movies (and concession stand) on credit cards? :-)

I'm torn. Going to movies ...very good. Credit card ...bad.
