I just got a call from HO about a declined credit card! That's very different from the emails they use to send. Too bad I'm at work and couldn't resolve it but I told her I would take care of it when I got home tonight.
 
That's cool that they called you. The time that it happened to me, I got an email and didn't read it until late that night and it was too late to do anything about it.
 
I saw something recently about a new policy they have. They call you now to resolve, which is nice, 'cause as you say, we don't always get to our emails!
 
That's interesting. Just this Monday, the 16th, I submitted a $158 show. The one CC purchase was for $39, and they sent me an e-mail. I opened it about 5:30 EDT, and called immediately. They submitted the CC a second time and it still did not get accepted. I resolved it by increasing the debit to my PC card, so that the hostess would get the order as quickly as possible, and not lose her benefits. Wed. I received notice that it had shipped, and it will be delivered today. So, it appears how they handle it is not a definite
change in procedures. Maybe it is dependent on the size of the CC charge, or the size of the party being held up. I am curious how large was the party and the charge involved when they called rather than e-mailed?

The show had 22 guests but the charge was only $18. Maybe they weren't calling yet on Monday or are calling at random.
 
I just had a declined card and got an email on Monday. No phone call though.
