I have a JCB card and it was not accpeted at CVS?

Question

JCB cards are supposed to be accept anywhere a discover card is used. its in the agreement of discover and any merchant accepting discover so why wasnt it accepted

All JCB & China Union Pay Credit Cards are supposed to be accepted everywhere a Discover, Pulse or Discover Network Logo is present they dont have to have a JCB or China Union Pay logo but it still must be accepted.

any one who doesn't know JCB is Japan Credit Buerau there credit cards are issued in Japan & the US and China UnionPay is credit card company in China and there cards are accepted in most of east asia, australia and the us

Answer 1

Many people in the US run into that problem.
Most of the time the clerk, and/or management, does not recognize the card and automatically assumes they don't accept it.

Next time they refuse the card, tell them to swipe it first before requesting that you to pull out another card.

(I'm patiently? waiting for JCB to branch out to my state lol)

Answer 2

JCB Cards can be accepted anywhere Discover Network cards are accepted in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands starting October 12, 2007. To my knowledge, this agreement does not apply to Canada.

China UnionPay Cards may be accepted where Discover Network Cards are accepted in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean starting November 1, 2007.
