I was wondering if anybody else was getting this problem.

It started about 2 months ago at a subway, and has happened to me 3 times in the past 2 months.

When I go to pay for a sub, the credit card comes back declined “account frozen”.

Then I go to pay with another card, and its frozen also.

One time I went to lunch with about 10 people from work, and every one of our cards was “frozen”, but the idiot behind the counter insisted that it was a problem with “all our cards”.

This problem happened at 3 different subways, and I’m not the type that carries cash, so I think I’m just going to stop eating there.

I had to get Subway for work at Walmart in Springville a few weeks ago and the woman in line in front of me was having this problem…  
She had to go to an ATM and withdraw cash to pay for it

I tried my BOA Visa Bank card, then a Citi mastercard, then my girlfriends Key Mastercard, and my buddy tried two credit cards also.
