Also major natural disasters slow sales down.
The only way to beat the pattern is to off set your traffic sources. And our industry shares a major part of it's traffic source. So unless you're on your own traffic source(s), you feel the heat with the rest of the Industry.

Thats true and I wouldn't think of any other reason, IF my own card wouldn't get declined on bad sales days, too. I can pay just fine with my own cc online. But there are days when sales are almost dead and when I try my cc on such days, it always gets declined. So there has to be more to the story.
