[QUOTE="Sevens, post: 2617612, member: 124327"] Only if purchased from somewhere that has the gun/ammo MCC code. NPR is most likely blowing this out of proportion as it wouldn’t sound as “good” if they said “only merchants that identify as firearm and ammo sales retailers will receive this code.” There is also a slight bit of wiggle room in determining your MCC as well. Using WaMart as an example, ammo and gun sales do not make up the majority of their sales, so it would be incorrect to categorize them as such. I wouldn’t be shocked if someplace like Scheels doesn’t qualify either. If Scheels did qualify, it means every transaction with them, be it for ammo or golf clubs, would be flagged. Also, doubt most ammo is being bought with a business card, so level 3 transaction data wouldn’t even be sent ( level 3 data is what gives item details of the transactions). I really think this is a spin on a MCC with higher credit card fees cleverly disguised as a “public safety” measure. [/QUOTE]
