You know, the thing about him asking you to run it twice...it shows up on his credit report as declined...twice. Declined offers count against you on your credit rating. This I know.

Actually, in the bar, whenever I run a credit card and it comes back declined, I run it a second time. I have two reasons for this.
1. More often than not, it goes through the second time, and I don't have to deal with the awkward situation of telling someone their credit card was declined. And then having to deal with them being asshats if they are SCs. No muss, no fuss.
2. If it is declined both times, and I tell them it was declined, and they ask me to try it a second time....well, I save myself a trip, as I tell them I TRIED it twice. No way, Jose.

They were talking about running an application for a credit card, not charging to the card itself. I always run a card at least twice myself, too. Doesn't help that our equipment is crap and so I have to swipe it a half dozen times just to get it to read.Quoth Jester View PostActually, in the bar, whenever I run a credit card and it comes back declined, I run it a second time.
