    I have got my £3 refunded by 3V gift cards, I think it could be something to do with the amount posts and e-mails I have completed on this subject. here is their response

    Thank you for your email.

    Some online merchants require that a small amount (such as US$1, €1, £1) is deducted from a new VISA number, such as the Voucher you registered, to verify that that the VISA number is valid. Normally, the small amount is refunded to the Voucher within a period of 7 to 10 days or sooner, or you can email us to reverse the validation test transaction for you manually.

    This is why your purchase was declined.

    I have reversed these transactions for you manually.


    Kind regards
