I had an order all ready to go with HHV. But they don't take discover cards. Oh well least I got a couple of new ones coming from different vendors

Sorry to hear that...If you really want to place an order you could try a check format or something...seems like a whole lot of hassle for some juice though.
No offense, tnt, honestly, but I thought that most everyone, by now, has a bank debit card, which is usually Visa backed. I never carry green cash with me anymore. The 'credit' side of the card still acts as debit, if needed, as long as you have the funds set. I do have an AmEx card that I carry just in case I need it, but rarely ever use anymore.
I think Discover is a bit pricey for vendors to process and HHV already has really low prices so it makes sense they wouldn't take it. I'm sure you could contact them and work something out if you don't have a visa/mastercard debit card that you could use instead.
The thread title makes it sound like HHV did something wrong. Lots of people don't take Discover.
I found this out myself a couple days ago. Funny, I ordered some juice from another vendor who didn't take a particular cc I tried to use, so I used discover - then went to HHV and couldn't use that.
Your loss. Why would that be any different than any other credit card you could use? I keep just enough in that account to satisfy my needs. So why would that be a worry?

"Your loss."???? Wow, that comment puzzles me. There are many reasons why it's not prudent to use a debit card. For one, if they fraudulently or accidentally overcharged my bank, they could wipe it out and cause my other checks or bank transactions to bounce, cause late payment fees and a whole lot more hassle. There are fewer protections for the consumer using a debit card.

I only use one particular credit card for online purchases. Even so, my bank has spotted fraudulent purchases (immediately) and had to change my account number twice in the nearly 2 years I've been making vape purchases online.
I handed an AMX card to a local vape vendor who told me they don't take that card because AMX won't take them as vendors because they are an ecig vendor and there is too much fraud going on in the ecig industry. That really made me nervous at first, then I thought about it and believe it probably is more because of the "free" ecig vendor traps that are out there.
I was going to suggest the same thing - $25, 50, 75 and $100 prepaid credit cards are generally available in large grocery stores, Walmarts, bookstores, probably Best Buys assorted drugstores and so on for face value plus a couple bucks processing fee. Next time you happen to be in the 'hood maybe getting one of those would help for those Discover-less vendors.
That's a good idea. I've never used one of those pre-paid cards, so I have a question. What do you do when you have just a small balance left on it? E.g., $1.27 cents or $2.03?
If I had 1.27 left I would get two apple pies from McDonalds and a bag of cookies
