Dear Customer
Thank you for your recent order with www.play.com
At this time we are unable to process your order further as the card details you have entered appear to be incorrect and cannot be verified.
Please can you check you account and ensure that the following details have been entered correctly:
Credit card number
Valid and Expiry dates
Three digit security code (this can be found on the signature strip of your credit card)
We will then attempt to re-process your original order. You do not need to resubmit your order.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused to you in this matter and thank you for your patience and valued custom.
Kind regards
