Paying Santander Credit Card with Nationwide Debit Card

Fingerbobs

Just wondering if anyone else has had trouble doing this? 
Every time I try, I instantly get a message that the card authorisation failed, and suggesting I try a different card. Nothing seems to hit the Nationwide at all. 
The Nationwide card works perfectly with other merchants, and I successfully made the payment to Santander using Curve with the same underlying card. 
I have also made payments to Santander using other Debit cards with no problems. It seems to be specifically the Nationwide card it doesn't like. 

Edited to add - please don't suggest "better" ways to make the payment. That's not the question. Thanks.

Do you not need to set up a new payee using the calculator type thing.

Forget paying by debit card, set it up as a payee in online banking/the app and just send the money by faster payments instead. Far easier than faffing around trying to pay by debit card

The sort code and account number you need will be on your credit card statement and you use your credit card number as the reference.

No. I want to use the debit card. My reasons are irrelevant to the thread.

Yeah i got the same error, though I usually pay by Faster Payments so not a big deal for me personally

You need to ask Nationwide why it is failing. 
It could be something security related.

Have you tried making a payment over the phone (many credit card providers have an automated service for such things)?
