Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content

Discover was Sears’ in-house charge/credit card. It got spun off by itself but a lot of companies never really started accepting Discover.
American Express, their whole thing is exclusivity. It’s the card you use to pay at fancy places. They charge merchants more in service fees, so a lot of places just don’t do business with them.

A really great gag in Futurama is that American Express survived 1000 years, but still no one accepts them for payment.

It was Discover.

Fry was too much of a shlub to have an AmEx card.
