Alot of times you have to call and activate the card. It's not really activating it, but there is something different they have to set up for online shopping. Since we operate in a "Card not present" environment, our system is necessarily pickier. If you still can't get it to go through, give me a call on Monday and I can make sure it goes through for you.

MK, one of the major checks with an on-line transaction is that the address the credit card company send it's bill to matches the "Bill to" address the customer enters in the form.
The prepaid cards don't have a bill to address but some of them have a form you can fill out on-line to set up a temporary bill to address.
If your's doesn't you can probably call your order in and they can manually by pass that check.

I think that's the long version of what Mark said.

I will call tomorrow..I have tried and tried to use the stupid thing. I have used gift cards in the past and they went right thru. I thought maybe because it says debit that that was the reason.
Here's the reason the site gave. I had the balance checked to make sure there was enough left..I am really cutting it close but still under the line! LOL
