Certain Websites Not Accepting

I have never understood why certain websites say that they do not accept:

ELECTRON

SOLO (MAYBE SOMETIMES MAESTRO)

AMEX

DINERS



Why is this please?

Comments

  • AMEX and DINERS generally charge merchants a higher percentage of the transaction as their fee, so that eats into the merchants' profits.
    Are you for real? - Glass Half Empty??
    :coffee:
  • Solo has gotten a lot better these days accepted nearly everywhere.. which is unfortunate because the cards are now mostly being replaced with Visa Debit even on basic accounts.
