So I had a membership with a gaming site. Silly little games that I like to play when I want to just veg. Well a couple months ago, I noticed it wouldn't reup and it was saying that my account was on hold. I finally was able to sit down and talk to customer service trying to figure out why it wouldn't reup. Ended up with me calling my bank to find out what the deal was. Turns out they were told by VISA to BLOCK users from purchasing from gaming sites like the one I was on. So I am unable to purchase games on this or any gaming site with my card. WTF is that?!?! We were not even notified of this major change. How lame. Just totally ticks me off. Something about too many fraud cases and I am thinking, if I want to purchase something with my money, I should be able to. If there is fraud that is what the protection is FOR... and we can deal with it if it happens. However, this is a site I have been a member with for YEARS. UGH!
*UPDATE* Used PayPal to work around it. A-holes.
