AZ is starting to hit cards for the draw.

[Simeod]

Arizona Fish and Game has started hitting credit cards. Not mine, but people are seeing charges.

I had a friend get hit today. Hopefully for 6A Archery! or 6A late rifle. Either way, good for him.

 

[Simeod]

Another year without an elk tag for me, but my strategy seemed to work for my FIL and BIL.

Sim did they get cards hit today or yesterday ? How can you be sure, seems like a little early to call. I’m still crossing my fingers but I’m an optimist.

They batch processed cards yesterday, backfill of bounced cards today or tomorrow, portal updated next week.

This would be WAY earlier than they have ever done it but they have locked out the ability to update your credit card so usually that means the start hitting cards in a day or two.

The deadline to update your credit card passed at 2/18/2025 11:59:59 PM (AZ Time).

 

[WapitiBob]

They moved app dates ahead a week.

I’m super grateful I got charged but am tormented by the extra wait they put us through. It’s a big difference between a 1st or 2nd choice hunt. I’m guessing they’ll publish results Monday?

They’ve been hitting cards since yesterday.

I should have been more concise. I meant a day or two from the deadline to update your card. Which would be yesterday and today.

 

[Addicting]

$650 and a $50 dollar pending charge!

Internal policy is to hit cards within 24 hours of the update deadline.

I checked my card statement and realized this must be fake news due to opening charges

 

[Maverick1]

Nothing here.

 

[7Bartman]

Was excited to see the charge on the card yesterday. Now to figure out if it is my son or I who drew.

 

[Frequently Banned Troll]

I did a little gambling on what was drawn by my credit card hit and booked an AZ Airbnb for 3 weeks in September.

Not many people claiming tags. Does that mean there’s more to come?

 

[Hammer37]

Counting myself pretty lucky since card got hit Wednesday morning! Now waiting to see which choice hit, non-resident that had 2 bonus points for AZ and took a swing at some great hunts vs the ultra-premier lifetime hunts. Figured was better off going for 5% odds vs the 0.1% chance odds.

Excited for either choice, but dang I'm ready for the portal to update with which one hit!

I purposely turn my credit card alert off because I can't stand knowing but not knowing and just wait for the portal.
