The company behind Discover credit cards will reportedly be joining a larger initiative to track when cardholders make purchases at gun stores.

"Discover Financial Services (DFS.N), a provider of credit cards, told Reuters it will allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to publicly give a date for moving ahead with the initiative, which is aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes," Reuters reported.

As was discussed last year, it looks like cash is still king.

I’ve used my discover for almost everything for well over a decade. Too bad.

Visa and Mastercard "paused" their action.

In a statement, Visa indicated that the legal pushback was partially the reason they have paused their implementation.

“There is now significant confusion and legal uncertainty in the payments ecosystem, and the state actions disrupt the intent of global standards,” the company said.

“Visa and Mastercard came to the correct conclusion. However, they shouldn’t just ‘pause’ their implementation of this plan—they should end it definitively,” said Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, who led the 24 state GOP group to pressure Visa and Mastercard to drop the standard, in a statement.

I put all my expenses I could on discover for the past several years. They're already a small fish so maybe it will actually be noticed
