Did anyone participate in subject program? And as a result, received a Humminbird prepaid Mastercard? Well, I did. I bought a new Helix 12 and Mega 360. Accordingly, I received two cards. One for $400.00 and the other for $500.00. Subsequently, I placed an order with Tackle Warehouse. Card was denied. Long story short, Tackle Warehouse is not on the approved "Merchant List". The gentleman I spoke with at TW stated I wasn't the first denial. I have been trying for days, jumping through hoops to try to get/view the aforementioned list. No luck. I figured a gift debit card could be used anywhere. I guess Humminbird is getting a kick back from the folks on the approved Merchant List to help offset the cost of the cards. Anyone else? Thanks.  

There was a post a few weeks ago, but it mightve been an update from a year or 2 ago talking about this, its a known Tackle Warehouse problem now, i think the person just used the cards to buy other cards? I think it was in the everything else topic too, try searching here.

 

@Leeboy ill tag you in the other post, i found it.

Nothing sinister going on. The way TW’s merchant processing works is that they charge the card twice more or less and to the card it looks like a subscription. The card denies it as a form of fraud protection.
