Most billers - this is my belief now - most billers do what they must do to stay in business and keep the majority of their clients happy. This means, on some days, Visa or MC may put limits on billers, or if it's a Holiday and a lot of cc activity is expected in mainstream, adult gets 'suppressed' being more high risk for that day. On and on it goes.

But Marcus Aurelius is also correct: when none of the other factors change (traffic, time on site, etc) then one must look at things one does NOT have control over, like billers.

No conspiracy here, just reality.

(Hope you're also promoting PeabodyCash stuff Marcus!!!)
