Crazy sounding, I know. Here’s the situation: I represent a college alumni group and am looking for bars that can host our medium-sized basketball watch parties.

The problem is, our college now has a new system that technically won’t approve purchases from bars with the mandated special credit card they use. However, we’re told that a workaround can happen if we run the card and the establishment isn’t designated as a “bar” under whatever category this appears in.

I could ask the person in charge to just do a bunch of trial and errors with whatever bars we like, but wondering if anyone in the industry or simply in the know has any options they’re aware of for this very specific and random request!
