- There are several potential reasons why a credit card may not be working
-
Incorrect Information: Ensure that the credit card details entered, including the card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address, are all correct. Even small errors can cause transactions to be declined.
-
Insufficient Funds: Check the available balance on the credit card to ensure that there are enough funds to cover the transaction. If the card's credit limit has been reached or there are insufficient funds, transactions may be declined.
-
Expired Card: Verify that the credit card has not expired. An expired card will typically result in transactions being declined.
-
Card Not Activated: If the credit card is new or recently replaced, it may need to be activated before it can be used for transactions. Follow the activation instructions provided by the card issuer.
-
Card Restrictions: Some credit cards may have restrictions on certain types of transactions or merchants. Contact the card issuer to inquire about any restrictions that may be affecting your transactions.
