a good sign that a person is in way over their head. Either way, they
can't get a reservation when they're denied, precisely for that reason.

Don't be positive that someone being denied for a little charge means that
they are over their head.

Although I don't recall the exact reasons and circumstances, MasterCard once
denied approval at a gas station, for me, once. I was briefly ****ed, then
pulled out my emergency Visa, and vowed I would get to the bottom of it when
I got home.


I've not been denied, but I've had them call me a few times after
a pay-at-the-pump fillup at the gas station (temp auths as $1) and
then a several hundred dollar purchase at the supermarket. The
pay-at-the-pump is often used as a test to see if a card if good
by thiefs.
