Credit Card Declined

[tamo245]

I was trying to order another watch from Andrew and had my CC declined. Tried again. Same thing. I have more than enough to cover the watch and even went and made a planned purchase with amazon and it went thru fine!

I remember the last time I ordered from there it went thru fine but they did sent me an email AFTERWARDS saying "did I place this suspicious order"?

Anyone have this problem and how do you handle it??

Call the number on the back of the credit card, they have you locked out to prevent possible fraud. They will have you verify the last several transactions.

Yep, just did it and resubmitted the order and it went thru fine. I have paid Trustytime using this same CC twice before in the last year and each time they have issues with it. Seems like after the first time it would be put on a safe list or something.

I travel quite a bit, sometimes out of country and never have issues even though I usually don't call them to tell them beforehand as is often recommended. I buy online at least weekly, sometimes from overseas with no issues at all.

Wonder what it is about this particular transaction that seems to say fraud to them?

I would imagine the processing companies that process rep transactions are less reputable than the CC company would prefer.

Possibly, a problem at Andrew's (or the cc processor's) end. I would have emailed Andrew after the 2nd failed attempt & let him locate the source of the problem & get back to you. Often, when you repeatedly attempt to place a charge (even if the charge does not go through), it looks very suspicious (to the bank).
