I have had credit card entry denied when trying to make purchases of
numerous things from Honduras, The school I work for has had their
corporate account denied because it originates in Honduras. When trying
to make a phone call from the US to Honduras on a phone at SeaTac that
used credit cards, the call was denied because of where it was going.
Credit card fraud, credit card theft, piracy and ID theft are major
problems here and merchants are hesitant to accept cards from Honduras.
