I was trying to buy airline tickets from TAP (Air Portugal) and despite trying two computers, three browsers, plus their Android app, it doesn't accept payment.
After booking, I was able to call and they saw my reservation and gave me a link (via email) to click, but that didn't work either.
When I look at my credit card (Elan Visa through Fidelity), there are no rejected charges. I've had this problem before, but only with non-US travel suppliers. I think they use "Verified by Visa" or "3D Secure" or something, and I think a credit card issuer has to opt-in to that.
The weird thing is, I remember wrestling with this a few years ago, but my records indicate that I was finally able to pay with the Elan card.
I just wondered if there was something I am missing. I should just bite the bullet and put it on another card, but it's hard to walk away from the 2% kickback that I get with the Elan Visa.
