i went to purchase some seeds from atitude. it said card declined. same thing at nirvana. now my card is frozen. cant use it at all now. maybe the SYB has strict rules. has this happened to anyone else.
 
There are lots of stories of banks not allowing your card to be used for overseas transactions without prior permission from the card holder. Give them a call monday morning and i'd have thought you'd be fine.
 
sucks its saturday. i figured they thought it was a fraudulent purchase.(someone else ordering)... on monday i will call the bank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I had an order get declined last month from attitude on a weekend. A buddy of mine had the same problem trying to order on a saturday. I tried ordering again on monday before calling the bank and it went through. If you tried unsuccessfully a few times the bank will freeze your card.
 
Just saying this probably not wise to buy an illegal plant with your credit card :p try using one of those prepaid visas then register it online with fake info thats what I use :bigjoint:

Or go with Paypal. I think I paid via Paypal on my last nirvana order. Got it in 7 days
 
i know ive been debating that also. i dont think these companies just give out our personal info. that means for any US agency to view our info would be to hack. is that right? I dont know if they send a billing reciept. i would guess not.

As far as i am aware, if the police are reading your bank statements, you're either such high priority that legality be damned they're learning everything about you, or they already ahve enough evidence on you to be compiling a charge against you, meaning that you're alreadyh on borrowed time

I mean just a regular visa credit card. I've bought stuff from GB, Amsterdam, etc and have had zero problems using my CC.
 
There are a lot of things that can throw off flags for CC's. Theft is a big issue, and those card companies basically shoulder the burden of theft, so they take precautions to cut cards off if they think they are stolen. Things such as making a large number of purchases when you normally rarely use the card, having charges from geographically disparate locations in a short period of time (especially internationally), or a group of large transactions in a short time, etc, can set their flags off. I have had my bank call on 3 separate occasions to verify recent charges that they thought could be a sign of a stolen card. Each time they said if they hadn't been able to get me on my cell phone they would have frozen the card in hopes that I would then call in if the charges were legitimate.
 
same thing happened to me...so disappointed just stick with the bag strain I guess (which is superb) no hold though, but couldn't make my order...i would call the bank tho, my ol lady wouldnt let me. Keep us up dated
 
cant get a visa.. and also if i am high priority then something is really wrong with our system. they just had a bust in my city. very nice house with 60 plus plants. knowone was there at the time. my bank has good securitybenn with them for 15 years. this has happened before with something else. i just have to go to the bank and unlock my card. i just have to let them know im making over seas purchases. plus when you order it, it take you to another site to check out. also. i know all the people at my bank well so im gonna be patient and wait till monday and just go up there. i will let you know what happens!
 
my bank has called before making sure it was a legit order but i've never had them freeze my card.
