no longer accepting mastercard

[KiltLad]

I got this email today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 2010, TodaysCigar.com will no longer be accepting
MasterCard as a payment option. We're very sorry to those customers that
currently purchase our daily offerings with MasterCard credit cards, but new
rules set forth by MasterCard to our merchant services provider have made it
impossible for us to continue using MasterCard. It is unfortunate to see the
credit card companies taking such a negative stance on online tobacco sales,
simply because of the dishonest practices of a few bad eggs. You can read more
about this issue here: MASTERCARD We hope to see you back soon.

"Merry Christmas to you and your's"

We went through the same thing, but with our CC processor, not MC. We have since switched processors and have no issues with the new one. For every processor that DOESN'T want our money, there are a dozen lined up that do.

Do you operate a B&M as well? The big problem for us at todayscigar.com has been that the processors are a lot harder to come by (who'll accept tobacco businesses) if you don't have a B&M.
