hi all

i just went to purchase the seat for the pro-am but the only card options are delta/ electron and maestro i thought we could use visa cards before? any suggestions as would really like to go

thanks
rob

Jon MW:
There is no such thing as Delta anymore, there is only Visa Debit, Visa Electron and Maestro (and wikipedia tells me there is going to a Mastercard debit launched next year).

This doesn"t help with the immediate question, but I did point this out previously yet the payment processor is still persisting with incorrect terminology.

Logically the Visa Delta option should be the one that Visa Debit works on but that doesn"t mean that it will work.

Chipaccrual:
I believe that the credit card option was removed due to escalating costs for both APAT and the players as the transaction was being treated as a cash advance.

I may be wrong and Des will probably give me a slap for being so stupid.

Do you know anyone with a debit card you could use and ship them the cash ?

I don"t think that it will require a rush job as there should be seats available for a while.  Famous last words, I know.

You just said "visa" lord2300, if you meant visa credit rather than visa debit then you can go by what Chipaccrual just said and ignore my rant.

Good on APAT for removing it say I. Its standard practice for the credit card issuers even if you are on an interest free period with your credit card, to charge gambling/gaming transactions (any betting related deposits) at a higher rate of interest which need to be paid back with in the first 56-59 days.
