Was there actually a problem with your payment or was it a system error?

What was your order date?
Method of payment? Credit Card or Debit Card?
Have you called customer service and if so what did they say?
I did read somewhere someone said their order was cancelled, however, he paid by Debit Card and there was some issue.

Is debit they say it was a problem with the paymant my ordee was on 12/3/11. This problem was before buy they two times give my money back then charge

In Canada they don't accept debit visas online and I got an email telling me to provide them with an alternative method of payment within 5 days or my order will be cancelled.

thats why i ordered with my credit card that has no limit. makes things considerably easier.

What an interesting thing to choose to share. Must be quite the credit card. Even friends with Centurion cards have limits. High limits, but limits nonetheless.

There simply is no such thing as a credit card with no limit.
All credit cards have limits, some may be very high, but even the highest still have a limit.

There is credit card there is no limit. Not everywhere in the world, but it exists at least in US and HK as far as I know.
Here is one: dailymarkets.com/personal-finance/2010/12/07/american-express-premier-rewards-gold-card-review

wow, this thread went off topic pretty fast.
amex is different in that some of their cards don't have a set limit, but that doesn't mean you can spend outrageous amounts of money whenever and however you want with them just approving everything.
my business card with them is that way, but if i try to pay for a house with my credit card, it's not going to go through.

Actually I think Amex Black does not have a limit but it is rarely issued. Yes you can buy a jet with it.
But we are getting off topic, where did best buy find cans large enough to fit a transformer in?

thats why i ordered with my pile of cocaine that has no limit. makes things considerably easier.

maybe "can sealed" refers to the aluminum back that's causing wi-fi issues.
for reals, though; that sucks. they better not cancel mine, or...or...or...I'll post here in all caps, I guess. Maybe I'll swear off BB and then go there on 12/27 with the gift cards my folks give me for Xmas.

my swimming pool of heroin is like that, but it's just so inconvenient to carry around.
didn't the OP say he had issues with his debit card payment? if so, then it's within bby's right to cancel and order they can't get paid for, ****ty of them to not call and try to resolve it before cancelling it though.

The Centurion card from Amex is by invitation only and has an annual fee of $2,500 and a one time initiation fee of $5K. It has a limit because a friend of mine hit it charging a chartered wide-body for business in an emergency. It was approved with a phone call but it shows there's a limit. Amex is "no preset spending limit," not "no limit."

[Q] Ordering from a UK retailer , but in PAYMENTS

is there any UK retailer that could sell the sgs2 but in payments? I cant pay for the whole thing... it means paying lets say like for example 50 pound per month..
is there any retailer that might do that or accept such kind of payment? =/
please help me out as I really wanna switch from this Omnia HD of mine..
thanks in advance
P.S
I live in Israel and not in the UK, if that will change anything...
none..?
I'm not trying sound sarcastic, but would they not let you order with a credit card? Paying that off in installments.
huh? what do you mean?
I meant credit card, but in payments.. like paying 50 pound per month instead of the whole 440 pounds in 1 hit (1 month)
Last time I looked that's kinda how credit cards work, you buy it in one go and pay the card off as you can afford it.
weird because I'm always getting charged in 1 hit.. no matter how big the charge is..
Well of course you're going to get charged the interest on the full amount, but it's up to you pay down the capital. Even if you did find a UK supplier with a credit agreement, it would be the same and probably cost more. You won't get instalments.

I think the OP is referring to a hire purchase agreement? rather than the entire amount being charged to his credit card in one hit, and then making monthly payments to credit card company. At least, thats my take anyway. If I'm right, then I think he is out of luck, as most hire purchase agreements require some sort of credit check?

No idea how credit cards work in the UK but in Austria you get a monthly statement, to be paid immediately and in full, while in the US they seem to work more like giros.
But anyway, OP, if you can't afford the phone don't buy it. Consumer loans for something that isn't an investment (own flat / house, maybe a car) are a really bad idea.

Yeah that's what I was referring to, a credit agreement where they split the cost of the item and include interest. So a fixed amount each month until term, but even if he could find one it would cost a bomb and not for an overseas buyer.

Yep, it's even debited automatically from a regular bank account / giro, so it's only a credit card insofar as you only have to pay once per month. My point was, what a credit card actually is differs a lot, usually on a country-by-country basis.

Now that would make you think twice about buying. It's all too easy over here to have a dozen cards maxed to the limit and just pay minimum balances of a few quid. Not only that, they're always increasing the credit limit. One card I've had a small balance on, only a few hundred on and off has a limit of over £20K. Never asked for it.
just order the O2 50 min deal cancel data bolt on after a month, and then pay 10.50 p/m over 24 mnths, interest free no hassle

I placed an order but for some reason my card was declined even though I have the money on there I am going to ***** my bank out tomorrow..
Newegg sent me an email saying they will try to authorize my payment once more when I update the payment information. My order now shows up as "ON HOLD" but the item is out of stock, does anyone know if this means they have one on hold for me until they try putting my card through again or if its going to be backordered now? Im really upset.. I've had the money for this thing sitting on my card for several weeks now.

My prime preordered from newegg was on hold for over a month, so yes it means it is backordered. I never even got the tablet from them in the end, was able to order right after Christmas with next day delivery from best buy. I did snag a rock from them a couple days later though.
Long story short, on hold means its a backorder.
So, how much was the 64gb prime?
Since it is now deactivated, i can not see the price.
Thanks

it was $599.99 plus shipping unless you bundled then it had free shipping.

When ordering from AT&T, did it charge you for the preorder yet?

I haven't been charged yet. If you pre-order online do they just wait until it actually ships?

They put a hold on mine. I'm not sure if they actually charge, but it's the same thing.
They can't charge until they ship. A hold is not exactly the same thing as a charge; cardholders are not liable for authorization holds, only charges (your credit card company does not bill you for authorization holds). The hold simply gives the merchant the authorization to charge on the ship date. That said, to the consumer a hold may appear to be similar to a charge because the hold counts toward the credit limit.
Hmmm, I don't have a hold on there either... but I have a confirmation email..
On second look, there's an authorization for $1.00 on there, but not for the full amount. Is that what I should see?
It's common to authorize a dollar just to check AVS and CSC, etc. I would actually be surprised if they did an auth hold for the full amount for 2 weeks, though that may depend on state laws and possibly your status as a customer, type of account, etc. I haven't bothered to check mine....just want the device already. The preorder page explains that they won't charge until shipment.
they got a hold on mine but not exactly the amount shows on the comfirmation page. anyways can't wait to get my hands on the phone. guess my 9100 will be resting for a while.
yes they have my money.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I just checked mine and there are two pending auths, one for a dollar and the second for the full amount due at checkout. I don't think pending auth can sit open for weeks so my guess is they are just checking preorders to see which cards are legit so they can contact those whose cards fail. Then they will run the actual charge on 2/16 (or whatever the ship date ends up being).
i dont agree with that.. they have already debited the full amount from my account although its still pending I think past today it will not be pending anymore.
Good to see that the charges are common to everyone... i was going to call and have a screaming match with them this morning... any ways... got 2 of these on preorder... anyone else get the $100 off?

This is what happened to me when I pre-ordered the iPhone 4, it put the money on hold (which took it out of my "available" amount) and when the transaction expired the money was taken off hold and stayed in my account until the phone shipped.
Also, I used debit. Same thing happened to me now when I pre-ordered the Note...
From the AT&T Preorder page:
"Please note, your credit card will be charged at time of shipment. If using either a credit or debit card, funds in the amount of this purchase will be immediately held and not available for other use. Credit and debit card transactions will not appear in your account until time of shipment."
It stands to reason the amount will be deducted from your available credit, since you agreed to pay on Feb. 16. They don't want you running up your credit limit on the 15th so your charge for the Note is declined on the day of shipment. But there is a difference between having the funds deducted from your available credit and being liable for payment (i.e., the moment the Note shows up on your credit card bill). Same should be true for debit cards. The amount should be on hold, but still in your account. You can't use that money to go buy something else since you've made a commitment to buy the Note, but AT&T won't make the charge until they ship.
ok very interesting.. either way not a big deal to me...

Hmmm. My concern is that something is wrong with the order since they only did the authorization for $1, rather than the full amount.
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES UPDATE: They finally put the hold on my card for the full purchase amount, a day after the preorder.

Just so you guys know. There is a chance that if you use a debit card, your bank could deem the purchase fraudulent and could cancel the transaction.
I rarely see it happen, just saying it can.
Mine stayed on hold for 4 days and then the funds released and the transaction tion just went away. The bank didn't cancel is due to fraudulent because they have done this in the past and have always called me before they did this. So I do not think this was the case this time. Kind of weird as I never had a transaction too. Like this before...

Wallet prepaid monthly maintenance fee!

I was reading through the user agreement and the bank that administers the prepaid google wallet card charges a monthly maintenance fee of $2 per month and the card expires after 5 years. Just a heads up for those that may be unaware. Make sure you use that initial $10 or it may slowly deplete.
I would think google would make this a free service to entice users and get more merchants on board. I can see people getting turned off by the fees. Also, I believe the minimum amount to add to the prepaid google card is $20. I guess one good way to use up the last remaining money would be to prepay for gas in the exact amount left on the card in order to use it all up.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I wont be using Google wallet after using the initial $10.00. $2.00 maintenance fee a month? What a bunch of BS.
What happens if I use the $10?
Do they still keep charging $2/month after that?
Not shocking most banks charge a fee and seeing how the bank is citi bank that's not shocking at all

No, only when they have to keep track of your money in the account and it goes unused for 6 months.
I actually like using mine. I already put $100 on mine to keep as emergency since I forget my wallet sometimes when I'm heading out to the flying field
Sounds like a gift card. They dont want to track 50 million $10 balances forever so after a while they just charge you a small fee to make it go away eventually.
It's a little confusing. I guess time will tell. I don't know why they can't be clearer in their legal jargon! I think they make things as vague as possible so they can argue any angle!

Sounds to me that the fee only aplies if you haven't used the card in more than 6 months. Just use it every now and then and there is no fee.

i understand the fee for inactivity. The annoying part is that fee doesn't show up in the transaction history. If you don't know what your balance was, there is no notification that you were charged anything at all.
