O2 have blocked my card, so I can't buy anything!

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I've just found out that because my card was declined 3 times (-due to my bank blocking it as it was a large amount), O2 have now blocked my card. I've been told to try again in three days but is there a quicker way to get the block off my card?

Perhaps it's confusion between being blocked and being declined ?

Retailers (any) can only decline a card, they have no power to block one.

This is what has happened, my bank had blocked it, I got it unblocked by my bank, but I have told by the sales dept. that O2 has blocked the card coz it was declined three times

It may well be that the bank did unblock the card....but the unblocking isn't always immediate. I would suggest @Anonymous waits a good 24 hrs....then tries again with a completely new application to O2...
