My credit card has iBill syndrome
 

Recently there's a lot of fuss about iBill "refusing" a lot of signups with a lot of people being denied memberships. Apparently this is affecting signups.

Me...
- I have never been overdrawn, ever
- I have never loaned money, ever - that includes mortgaging and hire-purchase
- I have never charged back any money, ever
- My card has never been stolen
- I have never had this problem before

Well I just wanted to buy something online from whsmith.co.uk... and the fucker gave me this. I double checked the cc number and issue number (01), but nothing. This is very strange.

"Dear (me), Thank you for choosing to shop with us. Unfortunately we are unable to process your order because your credit card can not be authorised by our bank. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."

I set a £100 ($140) daily withdrawal limit on my card. The purchase was worth less than this. There are a lot of e-shops out there fighting to stay alive, but in this case, it seems that they are doing so well that they don't even need my business! Fuck them, from now on I'll shop at Amazon.

Oh calm down LD. It could be their bank link is down or the verification from the bank to the cc computers is offline. Any time it happens, try back later on a couple of times. Having been in business and dealing with the verification services first hand taught us alot. That thing can be down several times a day. Which can be a real bite when you have a customer spending $2500 and you have to turn them down. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif

When we first got our made for the net cc, it was declined about 4 times. lol It had a 15k limit and 50 bucks on it. But it went thru fine a couple hours later. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif
