Third golf purchase this month got flagged by my bank. First it was a rangefinder from some small shop, then the GSPro sub, now the Mevo+ Pro package upgrade. Every time it's the same line: "merchant category risk" and nobody there can actually tell me what that means.
Tried the usual workarounds. PayPal worked for exactly one renewal then started bouncing it back. VPN did nothing since it's the card getting blocked, not the region. Prepaid Visa cleared once and then got shut off. Ended up doing USDC on Coinbase for the GSPro license and it went through in like 10 minutes. Which is great, but I'm not trying to buy golf software with crypto every single year lol.
So is this just my credit union being paranoid or are you all dealing with it too? If anyone has a bank that actually lets golf sim subs through without a fight, say the word. Weird part with my Mevo+ is the free app works totally fine, it's only the paid tiers and third party sim software that get killed.
Also RIP my wallet. This sport is expensive enough without the payment processor tax on top.
