Still not working?

  • Check the card number, expiry date and security code.
  • Some banks block online payments they don't recognize. Your bank can approve it.
  • You may see a pending charge from a failed try. That's a hold, not a payment, and your bank usually drops it within a few days.

If you think you were charged, see I was charged but got no ticket.
