How do I use the Mercedes-Benz Financial prepaid MasterCard or Visa at restaurants and other locations that have a tip line in the receipt?
Please note that most restaurants have their point-of-service terminals pre-programmed to add a 15%-20% gratuity to your bill total at the time of card authorization. For your card to be accepted, the total of your bill plus the automatically added gratuity must not exceed the available balance on your Mercedes-Benz Financial prepaid MasterCard or Visa. For example: If you have $25 remaining on your Mercedes-Benz Financial prepaid MasterCard or Visa, and have a $24 restaurant bill, your Mercedes-Benz Financial prepaid MasterCard or Visa may be declined for that purchase because the restaurant may be trying to authorize a $28.80 purchase, not a $24 purchase. This issue applies to any merchant with a tip line on the receipt.
