Hehe, then no charges would go through at all, lol.

Seriously, though, I get this every single time I make a substantial transaction with LL -- charges get bounced, my CC gets turned off, I get phone calls in the middle of the night to verify charges, etc. ... what an ordeal. My CC issuer *hates* LL.


Tell your CC company to put that on the list of "OK places to charge you."

If they can't do that, then it's time for a new CC. This is a pretty standard thing CC companies do.

It's called the Sterling Card, and as it's a Mastercard, you'd have no problem whatsoever paying LL with it. Nice idea Katier. ;)


the Post office one is Visa Electron but still think it'll work fine.

What a pain. My husband and I use this same card with 3 other accounts, and between them have charged several thousand dollars since January. For every large land purchase, my cc fraud dept calls me, and I keep telling them that LL charges on this card are ok, and to please allow them.

I'm just glad the account finally got verified.

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

Your credit card company is totally rubbish. Or amazingly good at looking out for you.

I'm glad mine "froze" mine for suspicious activity. I had all my money taken once, and it was for overseas purchases by the thief.

I think they are just very conservative, and very good (too good, sometimes), at looking out for me.

It is a credit union, customer service is good, and the rate is low. I guess maybe they have encountered a lot of fraud with LL, or at least the fraud division has gotten that info from the rest of the industry.

Its a pain, but I guess it is better than allowing fraud to slip through.

With some of the ideas they come up with maybe "Meth Lab" would be more accurate.
