The issue here is that it needs to be easy for a person viewing their credit card bill to know that they paid for something... and not be super weird.
I had a buddy who nearly did a chargeback against a club that put "E 11 EVN" on his bill... name is Eleven Club.
- Disruptive_Dave 7y agoMost strip clubs do something like "Sully's Steakhouse" . edit....or so I'm told :)
- arcticbull 7y agoHave they set the MCC to Restaurant too? I have to imagine that triggers bonus categories for dining on credit cards, like the 4X on the Amex Gold and 3X on Sapphire Reserve. That's a heck of a bonus category haha.
- jaywalk 7y agoIt's always Restaurant from my experience, but it's not like you can pay for dances with your credit card. Just food and drinks.
- ta999999171 7y agoI mean, not with that attitude
- bluedino 7y agoCash advance from the on-site ATM with the $15 surcharge
- arcticbull 7y agoA friend told me Gold Club accepts credit for dances haha.
- commandlinefan 7y agoHm - $600 at Sully's Steakhouse... you were the only one there? Ok, sounds reasonable.

- WrtCdEvrydy 7y agoOfficial name, yes, but in their advertising, they usually put Eleven...
- yardie 7y agoI'd just like to add E11EVEN is not a strip club. It is in fact a burlesque club. There is some nudity but not in the same way as a strip club. For any Miami-based HNers, you can find me at the nearby bar, you'll know the one.
- throwaway_tech 7y agoGuessing "the corner" bar (probably eating the peppers)...I won't nitpick in typical HN fashion of strip club or not, either way I call it the ballet. But now I'm going to have to go just to take a survey on the issue.
- tedunangst 7y agoIs the corner that great? I wouldn't go out of my way to get there, but maybe I'm missing something?
- throwaway_tech 7y agoTo each their own, its a small dive bar that is generally over crowded with bad service, on the plus side they have good drinks at good prices. But when people say they are at the bar across the street from E11even it means the corner. Its also big for people in the service industry.

- Cd00d 7y agoI work with credit card data, and I'm always astounded at how much ambiguity the banks allow. We see major brands redact what's in the transaction description to the point where it may only say the street intersection of the transaction (Main & 4th), yet the banks have a call center handling questions like, 'I don't recognize this place and it's a $200 charge, so what was it?'. With simple rules to make the transaction descriptions less opaque, I'd think the banks would come out ahead.
