There is $100 on the card and the order is for $98.24 that includes shipping and the discounts and everything but it keep saying its refused the account was activated this morning. Do I have to wait until Visa sends me a card in the mail or can I use the one directly out of the package.

I am not sure what you were saying.

You said the account was activated but then you asked if you had to wait for Visa to send you a card.

Well if you have not yet received your actual card from Visa I know of no way that you could have actually activated it yet unless your bank has a different sort of setup with Visa than any bank I have ever used. Any debit card or credit card I have ever had, had to be activated by phoning the number on the sticker on the card after I received it.

So I am not sure what you meant when you asked if you could use "the one directly out of the package." I am not sure what "the package" is.

If you have an activated card from Visa in your hands and a balance that exceeds the amount you are spending, or have overdraft protection so you can exceed the balance in your account, there is no reason why your debit card should not be accepted by Attitude or anywhere else you attempt to use it.

Something else to consider is if this is a new account, and it at least sounds like it may be, did you order checks when you setup your account? If so the price for them would have been deducted from your account lowering your balance so if you opened the account with $100.00 and then ordered checks your balance dropped right away.

You may want to use your bank’s online banking feature and check your balance to make sure it is what you believe it to be. Even if you did not order checks there might possibly have been some error in the entry of some information that could be causing your card to be rejected.

Something else is if you are using your name as it is on your card or if you are using a shortened version or altered version you prefer and go by like Bill instead of William or Joe instead of Joseph like it may be on your card.

If the information you enter at Attitude, or elsewhere, does not match up with what is on your card and in the bank’s records the transaction normally will not go through.

That could do it.


Personally I never heard of a Visa debit card, or any other type of debit card, issued through WalMart. I have only known of banks issuing debit cards using credit card companies.

Is it an actual debit card or a prepaid credit card? Some businesses will not accept prepaid credit cards.

A lot of these sites only accept cards that have a Billing address connected to them.

Keeps fraud down which is a bitch! I had my card number stolen off the internet a couple of years ago and it took me and my credit card company a whole year to get it straightened out.

It's for security purposes.

Hey bud I had the same problem it kept denying me, I had to have a friend call the bank and have them clear the transaction. Call the bank and tell them your having a gift shipped from overseas and the transaction wont go through and they should be able to clear it within 5 minutes good luck.

Sometimes the transaction amount differs from the authorization amount. Like when you go to a restaurant, the authorization amount is larger than the cost of the bill, so as to leave room for a tip. The authorization amount should be able to be adjusted by the people running the card though, and if they know what the deal is, they should be able to make it work.

I didn't read the whole thread, someone may have mentioned this - the currency you are viewing the seeds in must be the same currency as your card.

Just change it on the near-top right side of the home, or just about any, page.

If it works smoke one for me.

yea some of the pre paid credit cards are US only, you just have to get one that isn't, unless attitude doesnt accept them i know overseas credit cards are bigger deals then they are here, i know most stores in america never check ID when taking a CC but overseas you need 5 forms of ID and a stool sample to buy anything with a CC.

It is due to the credit card processor they use will not process any credit cards without an address on file for verification purposes.

I use a pre paid credit card on Attitude and Pick n Mix on a fairly regular basis. Regular for seed buying but not, say, regular for buying a coffee.

I had a problem on Attitude on my first purchase because the screen currency was GBP and my pre paid credit card was in CDN. Took me some messing around but as soon as I changed the currency to CDN on the Attitude page I got my seeds.

That's all I'm going to say about that.
