Are you using the number on your Visa Electron, or the virtual number?

The Visa Electron number will not authorize online/over the phone, only the virtual number will.

Called cheaptickets and they basically told me to call Epassporte ...

Hmm.. that is strange... you are using the Virtual Visa and not the Electron Card?

Yep, I tried both and the Virtual card gets a "Declined by bank" notice.

Called epassporte and they said it showed up as a "restricted purchase" or some shit ... then they told me to call cheaptickets again and make sure they accept this type of card.

Trying at travelocity now, hopefully this will work.

Finally got it to work by using my Electron card via United.com - strangely enough.

Thanks for the comments/advice people.

That's when a 3-way call is in order

Dont do it ... I did it through orbitz ... First off orbitz puts a hold on your card for 30 days than Delta or whomever actually clears the money so you get billed twice and dont get your other money back for 30 days !

Epassporte was no help or orbitz ... go directly to the airline instead ..

This happened to me twice actually not once !

just relax... epassporte is not what you thought it is

**BlueQuartz** · 02-19-2005, 05:49 PM

great to see you got it to work finally :D

plenty of happy uses of epassporte here - online - offline - on the moon - you name it!
