Troubleshooting a Credit Card Declined: Tips for Checking Shipment Status

In summary, there are several reasons why a credit card may be declined, including insufficient funds, suspicious activity, or an expired card. To fix a credit card decline, you can try using a different card, adding more funds, or contacting your issuer. After resolving the issue, your card may still be usable, but it's best to check with your issuer. A credit card decline itself will not affect your credit score, but missed or late payments can have a negative impact. To prevent future declines, ensure enough funds, update card details, and be aware of suspicious activity. Setting up alerts from your issuer can also help.

I'm not sure, but how would I be able to tell? I submitted a show on Sunday and it still shows "Hold" on the shipment status screen. This is the first time that I have had a show sit for that long without being picked or shipped, so it makes me think something is wrong...is there?
 
Probably, that is what showed when I had a card denied. You will get an email stating that with instructions. But you can check yourself too. Through CC Under managing your business. My Shows and then resolving denied CC's. You can try and run it again to make sure it was not a typo but then call the person. I think it will also ask if you want to remove the order and submit or keep it open till it is resolved. Good Luck. The time I had it, it was my host and she insisted that it was a good card - but it kept being denied. She eventually gave me a new one. Mara

I did check on the Resolve Declined CC's and it says that there are no declined cards...
 
Then there is probably something else wrong with the show. You'll likely want to just call HO to find out what it is. Could be an incorrect item, or something simple. But you should have gotten an email , and would definitely see something online fairly quickly if it was related to a credit card.
 
I once had a show on hold for a declined card and was never notified, and it wasn't under my "declined cards" list either. It was a temporary glitch in the system- I would call them tomorrow and find out what the deal is, but don't write off credit card decline yet.
 

1. Why was my credit card declined?

There are several reasons why your credit card may have been declined, including insufficient funds, suspicious activity, or an expired card. It's best to contact your credit card issuer directly to find out the specific reason.

2. How can I fix a credit card decline?

If your credit card was declined due to insufficient funds, you can try using a different card or adding more funds to your account. If it was declined due to suspicious activity, contact your credit card issuer to verify the transaction. If your card has expired, you can easily request a new one from your issuer.

3. Can I still use my credit card after it has been declined?

If your credit card has been declined, it may still be usable after the issue has been resolved. However, it's best to contact your credit card issuer to ensure there are no restrictions or holds on your account.

4. Will a credit card decline affect my credit score?

No, a credit card decline itself will not affect your credit score. However, if it is due to missed or late payments, it can have a negative impact on your credit score. It's important to make payments on time to maintain a good credit score.

5. How can I prevent my credit card from being declined in the future?

To prevent your credit card from being declined in the future, make sure you have enough funds in your account, keep your card details updated, and be mindful of suspicious activity. You can also set up alerts from your credit card issuer to notify you of any potential issues with your account.
