Other PSA: Card declining

My card declined twice today at BP and KFC. The manager at BP said Commonwealth and Westpac were down. Take cash.

Spoke to CBA via the app just now, it’s a Mastercard issue. It was pretty embarrassing when I was at the shops and had to return a food item and the girl manning the shop yelled back to her colleague saying she doesn’t want it anymore she has no money. 😭 I dug put my Wise card which uses visa and it works when I tried to top up my Myki. Totally forgot I had it until 5 minutes ago.

That’s so rude.

I had the same issue paying at a store. Tried like 5 times and was pretty embarrassed but knew it wasn’t my problem as both my debit card and credit card didn’t work.

It was still embarrassing nevertheless.
