I have tried three times. FR Donation platform says my charge is being rejected. I charged the same card-same amount at "Judicial Watch." My Visa card and Visa website approved and posted the charge.

Mine is denied if I use my laptop but the phone works fine.
It’s been like that for a while.
This can get fixed. I had a similar problem with AmEx, but it was the code used for the security code not capturing the full amount.
They got the fixed.
Call you credit card and ask them why/
My Grandfather used to tell me that I wasn’t holding my mouth right.
I had the same problem with the 4 digit security code for AMX, manual entry would work, just not the monthly. I’ve been waiting to hear something more about it. For the time being I’ve resigned to make manual quarterlies instead.
I have a different problem. When I sign up for a monthly payment, it charges it the first time but does not after that.
I’ve donated monthly for years via PayPal—nary a problem
” This can get fixed. I had a similar problem with AmEx, but it was the code used for the security code not capturing the full amount.
“They got the fixed.”
I had a similar problem with a Visa card. Was told by the card company that the retailer had an older version of software and needed to reenter the security code manually. Seemed to fix it.
Talk to whoever is left.
Visa lays off 6 VPs and dozens of senior staff from Foster City campus
Boy, that last sentence was a a bad one!
I meant “it” for “the.” My wife came in and I got goofed up, it appears.
The web form was only accepting three numbers and the fourth (which AmEx needs) was not allowed. It was fixed by John, I guess, that day.
Are you using a VPN by chance? My bank app automatically rejects connection attempts when I’m using a VPN. Something to try.
Mine too, same cc account same desktop device and browser that worked 3 tines for donations in April-June 30 installment of ‘thon. No wonder donation bar stuck at 20% for 2 weeks
Woww ! Still ? After how many years of marriage?
LOL! Sopo, you’re great!
I will need to pass that back to her.
My regards to both of you and many more happy years together with God’s abiding blessings
I have had the same problem with my AMEX and MasterCard. AMEX says the problem is with Free Republic. I tried to find a way to contact FR but could not find any way to do so.
Me too. Tried two different cards.
It is Chris Robinson and John Robinson who can help.
They were pinged in an earlier comment.
