    thanks. Just read through it and cant find any info on wether it scans or not without having to spend £25 on non food. Although I do have a bit of a hangover lol

    I was referring to the mail ones printed yesterday for so much off a spend, the non food one is today :D You had my blue WKD drinks yesterday as well Mrs T :D Lovely aren't they :D
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    Nails inc are declining all my cards :( that was my fourth attempt - I know there is definitely at least a pound in my accounts!

    I've tried maestro, visa debit and a barclaycard now! It keeps saying it's declined by the bank.

    I am so disappointed :(

    Is your delivery address & the billing address the same? I have 2 master cards, 1 card was decline maybe bcoz I forgot to change my correct billing address when I press the button. When I used the other card to pay for the 2nd one, it accepted when I give the correct billing address but kept the delivery addy to be send to my office.

    Try again. Its worth the £1 :rotfl: also received confirmation order on both on my email.
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    No, it's the other way round - if you look back up to Harrietxxx's post, she said it was the "non-food" one that scans on anything. That's in today's paper.

    We've not come across any from yesterday that scan on anything, in fact more the opposite, that they don't scan on things they should!

    It could be the bank that is declining the transactions. They do this as a security measure to prevent fraud, especially if it's a site you haven't used before, if your card was stolen then a fraudster would make a small transaction first to check validity then a bigger one later.
    Your banks fraud protection team may well call you tomorrow to check that it was you who tried to use your card. Once you verify that it was you then they will authorise it, you'll have to place the order again though.

    Fair enough, but three different cards from three different banks for £11?!

    Dr. Who-who yes both addresses are the same :confused:

    (glutton for punishment wanders off to try again)
