Trying to make a donation to Free Republic. Statement comes up on all cards, "Card declined." Have checked with card services on each card. No problem with the cards. Have filled the form in in various logical ways to just keep trying. No success.
Wondering whether there is a problem with the on-line form.
FReepmail Jim.
I just tried sending money via CC and same thing happened. It appears something to do with the country or non-US block. I messed with it to change it to see what it would take and no go.
Precise address?
Use FReepmail to Jim Robinson
Thank you. I have sent him a message.
You’re welcome.
I also tried using a different browser. Got same response.
I spoke with Jim and he sees there’s an issue.
I’ve been having the same problem for 2 or 3 months. There is no clue or indication what the problem is. I wonder if it is the various cards deciding to not honor payments to sites such as this. But no one has said so.
Btw, other donations ARE going through. Weird.
I would worry about someone getting your credit card information and draining your accounts.
Hi.
Happened to me two FReepathons ago. A bank that I use wouldn’t process the transaction.
I just used another card. No problem.
Hope that helps.

So VISA won’t let me donate? Or is it a website problem?
Hi.
I don’t know.
I used a debt card last FReepathon.
Maybe the site is getting hacked..? it wouldn’t be the first time.
