Registerfly.com seem to be rejecting an awful lot of credit cards from the UK, I've tried to renew a domain today, and it gave me the following messages :

Your Credit card has been declined: Risk Analysis has rejected this transaction, this could of been attributed to invalid card no or expiration date. Please correct your information or try a different card

Have also got a few other people that I know in this country using RegisterFly, and they get the same message.

No idea why, my card is perfectly fine, as I've used it for other purposes, and there is a LOT of cash in there (Checked at a cashpoint earlier), I've had to transfer domains OUT now so I don't risk losing them.

Just a warning, don't leave it until late to renew your domain and find you have this problem, you might lose it, try it as early as possible, so you have time to transfer it

Just to add on to the fact, it's a Visa Card based in the UK, and I've been using it for RegisterFly for the last year or so, and have had no problem with it until today.

(Although the company i represent is an enom reseller i like to keep my personal domain purchases seperate. )

I have no problems with using a Mastercard (uk) with paypal - Although i stopped lastweek and have started topping my account there up from paypal.

Have you tried contacting them with the problem ?

Have tried contacting with the problem and they say it's to combat fraud, but they've said that to everyone I know, even people running business who have ordered through them, it just won't accept their Visa card, gives the same message every time. They're all Barclays cards by the way, don't know if that will effect it or not.

I've also told my bank about it, and they claim that it is a problem at registerflys end, and there is no reason I should be rejected, as I don't have any history of using that card to ammount massive debts etc, and that I'm a totally safe customer....

Yet they still reject me....

Setup paypal and use that - the new registefly "topup" system works great!
