Hi GMATNinja, egmat, KarishmaB, GMATninja2, AjiteshArun

I am sorry to tag you here, but I have an awfully weird concern.
I have been getting issues with payment at mba.com while using
Indian Bank Credit Card. I tried with several different ones, none
worked.
Also, I posted a query on asknet.com, which seems to be the online
transaction merchant for mba.com.
Please let me know if I am missing anything, or is this a common issue.
I really need urgent help, I need to buy official tests and give my official
exam in 2-3 weeks.

Regards,
Niyati

In my experience, most of these issues are due to your bank denying transactions for fraud concerns. You should be able to resolve them by simply calling your credit card issuing bank and asking them for the reason.

Usually the issues are not because of the processor but the bank card. Meaning, you can resolve those issues.

Hello,

I checked with my bank and they say it could be a problem with mba.com merchant, also I tried several banks and none worked.
In addition, I did an online international transaction on Manhattan thru the same credit card, and that went pretty smooth.

Hm… This is unusual. I have made many purchases from mba.com over the years. I mean hundreds of purchases and I never had my purchase declined though I had it under review. The review is usually as the result of purchasing multiple of the same product.

However, if there’s anything issue with their website, the best option is to contact their support about your transaction.

Hi niyatisuri

I have made some International Purchases. To make an international purchase you need to enable International Transaction on your Card and set allowable usage limit.

Hope this helps.

Hi niyatisuri,

Because you are able to make payments on other international websites, this is almost certainly not a problem with your card(s). Instead, it could be related to this, even though in your case it's a credit (not debit) card:

Quote:
In India, some banks will not allow debit cards to be used on the internet unless the merchant participates in Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code. This requires that the customer enter a pin number. We do not participate in this program.
Could you (a) get someone else to make the purchase for you, (b) try using PayPal, or perhaps (c) create an international virtual card?
