Be wary of using credit cards for any firearm or related purchases.

Weary? As in tired?

Your ammo and gun purchases will be specially coded if you use a credit card. Thought you should know.

Gun, ammunition purchases by credit card will be coded

(The Center Square) – The international organization responsible for creating merchant category codes for credit card purchases has given its approval to establish one for transactions made at gun stores.

Before 'they' are through, you'll only be allowed to buy cabbage and turnips with your credit card..........and nobody has seen turnips in months.

Maybe not a turnip but we have a vegetable in the White House.

The Retailer Store has One Code!
Total Charge goes to one Code!
Examples
Walmart's code is Merchandise (If you buy Gun or Ammo it goes to Merchandise)
Auto Repair code is Automotive
Earls BBQ is Restaurant
H & H has code of Merchandise under the new rules it would be changed to Firearms & Ammo
You buy lunch at the For U Cafe and it will show up as Firearms & Ammo

The code will be based on what ever the largest % of store sales is.

I think he meant "wary" as in cautious.

I wonder if adding the firearm specific category has more to do with cutting off processing to merchants than tracking individual purchases. Get some payment processors to cut off the firearm dealers, drive up costs and so on..

I wonder if you use a debit card, will the be code too?

"The new code will apply to all purchases at gun and ammunition stores, though firearm purchases at other types of retailers won’t be captured separately."

Not yet anyway . . .
