The rumor of Discover Card Services tracking firearms purchases is totally false! Below are two emails, one-my email to the CEO of Discover Card Services, two-Response from the CEO. Please spread the word, seems like most all news media is on the take from someone.
Dear Mr. Hochschild,
The news reports that your company is going to track purchases of firearms. Well sir, I think that is a terrible idea. I have been a customer of yours since the 60's I think, at least for many, many years. We do a great deal of business, with your company each year. If you actually do this, we will have to find another credit card. You folks have been great, so I really don't want to do that, but I will do whatever I can to maintain our freedoms, and 2nd. amendment rights. Thank you for your consideration.

I hate using the term "fake news", but. . .
Discover, like the other major card networks (VISA, Amex, and MasterCard) uses industry-standard merchant codes. But we have no plans to track purchases of firearms (and couldn't track what is purchased anyway, only the store type), and strongly believe in the right of our customers to use their Discover cards for any legal purchase as well as maintaining the privacy of their information.
I hope that helps clarify - and we appreciate your business.
