Remember the Superman movie scheme taking a fraction of a cent off of every transaction? Every time you dip your card, 1/30 of a cent is sent directly to Kim Jong-Il’s personal hairdresser.
Coming in 2027 is the all-new Hezbollah Rewards scheme, where 125,000 points can be exchanged for a custom-painted missile lofted towards Tel Aviv.
As funny as it is you can’t. Somebody made the mistake of sending an 1$ transaction to a forbidden country on the visa network while testing a filtering technology, (which didn’t work at the time, obviously). Seem like this triggered some control in the US, the company was contacted by a regulator
I work in payments.

The mistake was that it was $1 and not 7-9 figures
They didn’t get the budget for the tests
