Blocked visa card
 

Typical.. opened an account with pool.com, namejet.com and snapnames.com two days ago to try to get some domains that were dropping.

Today I won an auction at pool and got a backordered name at snapnames.
And that's great, but my visa card was blocked for some reason after the signup process at one of those sites (that's what I think, havent used the card for anything else these days)
Maybe somthing to do with the pending charge all three sites make, to check if there's a balance on the card ?, which there is :)

So the bank have blocked my visa and I can first contact them monday morning :(
Funny thing is, I use this visa card a lot on the net, from various european and american websites, and never that a problem before.

Someone else is controlling your purse strings.

Don't your bank have a 24hour phone number to sort out things like this?

Each time my card has got blocked I just ring up and answer a load of questions and they unblock it again.

It's both a good and a bad thing.

i hope you will not lose a domain because of it

Only to block cards if stolen ect, not to open a blocked card :(

All Legit cards have 24/7 customer service for just this reason.:2 cents:

Not in Denmark :(

Just great... my card is completely blocked, so now I have to wait a week before getting a new card :(

Lost one domain because of this crap.

The company controlling visa payments in denmark thought some of the charges were fraud so they blocked the card.

It's happened to me tons of times testing my own sites. I shudder at how much business I'm loosing because you know the average wanker is just going to deny it.
