New credit card denied

[thnidan]

Seems like many have had this problem. I have changed browsers, used incognito, re-entered address exactly as it appears, &c. but my new credit card is still "declined by the issuer" even though the bank says it's all good. What do?

Make sure you type in your address *exactly* as it appears on your credit card statements--same punctuation, same capitalization, same spacing.

In particular, if you live in condo/townhome with a unit/suite number, try leaving that field blank on the form and entering it in the regular address line box if it appears that way on your credit card statements.

Check your address, sometimes even the slightes mistake prevents the card from being accepted. If the problem persists, contact a Moderator.

@thnidan Did you leave the apartment field blank? Enter the apt number in the street address field . Ie xxx- street address. Is the credit card you are trying to apply a Canadian or US one.

@thnidan, if all the workarounds that you have tried has not worked, it means your credit card has been locked out du to too many failed attempts as a security measure.  You will need moderator team assistance to unlock the card.  The moderator team can be reached via private message using smartforms which is initiated by clicking on the ? on the lower right corner of the webpage or try using this link.
