Does anyone else have constant problems when using their Halifax issued Switch card with Play. Everytime I order my card is declined. I`m now experiencing problems with CD-WOW as well - I can`t even put the bloody order through. Please dont tell me its just me. Should I just accept defeat, close the account and change banks?
You are not alone Verlaine, happens all the time to me. Lately try to book a car with EasyCar and would not take it (pain as if I use my credit card and get charged an extra £3). Called Halifax and they could not come with an answer.
Just to enlighten you fella`s that ive had no problem using my Halifax Switch over the phone/net/counter, so i`m not sure if its yours cards or the fact that u have `insufficient funds`
I`ve been in touch with Play and they have said that they still have a problem with Halifax cards (when I said I had a problem with my card he asked immediately if it was a Halifax card - so they know there is a problem). They advised me to place an order and simply phone up straight afterwards to put it through.
Got my Switch and found problems with Play and Amazon I knew it was not the funds cause I droped £150.00 in a couple of days before.
So I thought about it and I checked the date on my computer it was set to 2005 put it right then they both took my orders no problems since.
Just check all your valid/expire dates and your computers date/time settings..it worked for me.
