Seriously, many fall into the trap of never trying a Mastercard after a Visa doesn\u2019t work. The difference in behavior is true of payment processors, merchant coding, cash advances, and debit card processors to name a few. It\u2019s also true when dealing with both prepaid cards and with credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>Another hint: Mastercard debit cards open more doors than Visa debit cards unless you\u2019re at Walmart money centers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Michelle from 'Full House' making an exasperated face with the caption 'Duh!'\" class=\"wp-image-916\" height=\"421\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duh.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duh.jpg 702w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duh-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/duh-150x150.jpg 150w\" width=\"420\"\/><figcaption>Gee, thanks MilesEarnAndBurn.com!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News alert for the weekend: Visa and Mastercard aren\u2019t the same thing.
