My Credit Card was Frozen for "Fraud" for Donating to President Trump's Re-election ***2020/01/05 UPDATE - I truly appreciate everyone's support and suggestions. Some of the comments helped me realize that I don't have solid evidence that my card was blocked for political purposes, even though I believe it could have been the case. For example, if bad actors sent in fake donations to WinRed with no intention to pay, Mastercard could be right that there was fraud related to WinRed.  I think most of us wouldn't put it past Mastercard to freeze someone's card for political purposes, but that holds no weight in court. On top of it, I would need the original recording when I called to unfreeze my card, and I had no idea I was unfreezing my card due to my WinRed donation or I would have recorded it. In closing, if I somehow obtain solid evidence that this was political you will be the first to know. In the meantime, I appreciate everyone directing me to https://secure.donaldjtrump.com/donate/, which is the ONLY place I will donate to in the future. I'm done with WinRed, and likely Mastercard. *** END UPDATE *** I tried to not be too pissed when I called them back to reactivate my card. The extremely skeptical side of me thinks they want a recording of me saying that I donated to POTUS's re-election campaign. They asked me "if I was pressured to give money". Hell no I wasn't pressured, and wanting POTUS re-elected isn't fraud! I said "I sure hope this freeze wasn't placed due to political bias."  There are two things I'm trying to figure out: 1. Is there a certain donation amount to re-election campaigns that normally triggers a freeze, or is this outright political bias? 2. I donated through WinRed, which President Trump endorsed in a tweet from June 24th. Since POTUS backed WinRed, it must be legitimate...right? https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1143159975277187072?lang=en If there normally aren't credit card "fraud freezes" due to donations to re-election campaigns and if WinRed is legitamate, I'm pissed. So this is how they're going to play the game: if you donate to causes we don't like, we'll freeze your card for "fraud".  These people are SICK.
