  • I never claimed they share the same components, but I do claim they have very different prioritization.

    And I never claimed they don’t have different prioritization. I’m just saying that one working doesn’t mean the other will also work.

    and this screenshot clearly shows an issue with Walmart not loading a page, not MasterCard delaying operations.

    The page may have not loaded because of a failed API call to the credit processor when requesting a refund. Charges and refunds are different API usages, and it’s wholly possible that an issue on the processor’s side can break pages on a merchant’s site. If for some reason Walmart’s site can’t communicate with Visa/MC/AmEx/whoever and their page isn’t configured to handle a specific failure, it will likely go to a default error landing page as a failsafe.

    I’m not defending Walmart or anything; just explaining some of the technical reasons a refund page can break. API failures happen even to non-scummy stores, as well.
