    I have had my co op visa card refused twice recently , Marks & Spencer and Virgin Money but a with Virgin money a Direct Debit from account is working how bizzarr is that

    I had the same experience - strangely it was OK when shopping instore at M&S, but not on line.
    However, by chance (as my original debit card was getting a bit tatty :D) I recently discovered that the Co-Op is now issuing all new/& replacement debit cards in the more widely accepted version of Visa.

    Give the Co-Op a ring & they should be able to issue a (new-style) duplicate within a week :-)

    Mine is the Visa card, works fine in store at M&S but not online. As they didn't have what I wanted in the store, I had to buy a voucher in store (using my card) then use the voucher to order online!
  • Mine works online also so I must have a newer version

    Which online retailers does it work for you, also does your card begin 4508?

    Remember as others have said its the cards that start "4508" that seem to be an issue with refusal

    I have co op visa debit starting with 4508 since Aug 09 and never had it refused anywhere yet.

    Used it in M&S store, Primark, Tescos loads of places.

    Only done online with Amazon and couple of others but again no probs at all.
