    Your post isn't very clear. What is the problem?

    The first transaction that didn't go through, or the second one that did?

    My guess would be 'verified by Visa' or the MasterCard equivalent?

    I'm often asked for this but I always seem to have the option of saying 'no thanks' and the transaction still goes through.

    Yes, I think it is that.

    I think that you can only say no to set it up - once you did set it up, it won't let you further...

    Once my Tesco card didn't even let me further unless I do set it up (first few times I could decline, but after that I had to set it up. Like you had to have it, it was just question of time. But it only happened on that one card.)

    VbV as the MasterCard Secure are retailer based systems. If the retailer choses to override its use. Then it is their choice.

    OP. You will have to take it up with the retailer.

    Did they not send a confirmation email? (spam/junk folder check time)
