Mine worked just fine at LCDH in Grand Cayman and at a duty free shop in Honduras. Not sure why you are having this problem, I would hope they could at least give you a good reason other than, "we don't wanna".

The only thing I can think of that maybe the EXCHANGE RATE is not something that would not favor them...

Their reason was that they could not verify a Canadian Visa to be real and therefore will not accept them. But a quick call to Visa confirmed that not to be the case at all. Visa suggested they said that rather than saying they didn't want my business. Any place worldwide that accepts Visa can accept and verify any Visa regardless of the nationality. It is the key selling point of having a Visa, or a Mastercard for that matter. Visa works worldwide and that is their policy. They make it easy for merchants to accept any Visa quickly and efficiently with security of the transaction. Worst case would be that CI would have to manually call the Visa hotline to confirm the billing/shipping address conflict.
So not wanting to ship abroad, fine. I have no issues with that. Not wanting to accept a Visa because of my nationality not cool at all. To give you an idea of how not cool. We have the largest amount of cross border commerce of any two countries in the world. Over 1.5 billion dollars per day. There are 200 million people crossing our borders each year, all using their Visas. There are millions of people with cross border vacation homes, both ways. All using their Visas. I easily could have been asking for a shipment to my vacation home and had it declined. It was a friends place where I will be staying however. Shouldn't matter though. I can't imagine what sort of stink would brew up if people started declining Visas from people from the other country just because they felt like it not accepting them. |

In the words of Huy, "my bad, just saw Visa and I thought credit card."
Hahaha
