Standard Bank Credit Card Keeps Failing.

Why is it that each time I attempt to make online purchases with my credit card from this bank, it FAILS? In November 2017, I had problems with online purchases with Abu Dhabi motors. I then received threatening messages from this bank for something that is not of my doing. Secondly, in January 2018, I had a struggle with online purchase with Bahrain International Circuit where I had to get help from their side.

A few days ago, I faced similar problems with Emirates flight ticket purchases. Emirates gave a CLEAR message that my bank that I am complaining about, once again, declined my transaction. If my bank declined transaction, why is my bank having an outstanding authorization for the flight ticket purchase more especially since I have logged a dispute in anticipation for this.

a) Please fix this and remove any authorizations where I have NOT received the goods. No airline tickets received. No travel insurance received. b) Please reimburse me for costs arising from the result of my bank declining a legitimate transaction. c) Please clarify to me in private as to the root cause for all the declines I have had where failures have occurred in the midst of critical planning timelines (e.g. VISA application delays etc).

Clint, you have done an awesome job. I was considering closing this account. But You have managed to convince me to try the upcoming solutions in order to keep me interested. I will keep pushing until things don't work. I have been a customer for so long. Will await to implement next solutions. For your effort I rerate this to a happier rating
