A comment on Credit card fraud warning signs. Parent comment
If I have eggs delivered every week, and one of those transaction fails, who cares?
If I buy a plane ticket for a flight that leaves in 30 minutes because of an emergency, I will be fucking enraged if that transaction is blocked.
Similarly if I can't pay the hotel at check-out and because of this delay I miss my flight.
Or when I arrive in a new country and can't pay for the taxi ride, and the ATMs don't work either.
All these events have happened to me.
