I tried to buy Lindens twice today and was denied. My credit card info is current and active, and I'm sure it must be a glitch of some sort that I'll be able to work out, but I was charged $1.00 US for both times I tried and the transaction failed. Since I'm being charged for transactions that are not going through, I'm irked since I know my credit card is good. Why am I being charged for failed attempts to buy Lindens?

That's typically a bank thing. It "reserves" the transaction. The $1.00 will more than likely be refunded to your account tomorrow.

This is probably your problem...

From: Second Life Grid Status

[UPDATE] Updating CC info offline

[UPDATE 08:21AM PDT] The error is partially fixed, but occasionally transactions might still fail. Paypal continues to work reliably.

[UPDATE 7:00AM PDT] A side effect of the current problem is that until it is fixed, credit card transactions (such as buying L$ on the LindeX or buying an island through the Land Store) may fail. Again, Paypal transactions should not be affected.

[POSTED 05:07AM PDT] There is an unforeseen problem with updating credit card information via our website at the moment.

We are aware of the issue and working to resolve it as quickly as possible. If you have urgent payments to make, and need to change your billing info to do so, you might use Paypal instead.
