[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I had a Visa Card with a credit union for about 16 years now.  It has a 6K limit and our current balance is about $600 and we are in good standing (never had late payments).  A few days ago, I tried to make a purchase through Amazon (Germany) for some toys.  The total amount was about 16 Euros.  Amazon sent me a message saying that the card was not 'approved'.  I called the CU and they checked and wanted to make sure that the charge is legit.  I authorized it and they told me to put it through again.  I did and it was yet again declined.  Called the CU back and they told me that they will not allow me to make purchases through Amazon (Germany).  I don't get it!  This is MY card and I authorized the charge.  WTF!!!

We only have another Amex Card or our Bank debit card and I could use those, but I want to use the CU Visa card.  Is there anything else I should do?  I already talked to the VISA Manager at the CU, but she wouldn't help either.  I have never heard of such thing.  I can understand checking with the customer to make sure it is not fraud, but not allowing me to use my own card?????[/quote]

PayPal. And you are silly to use a debit card internationally[/quote]
