Reply To: Curve Card – 12th July changes

[FlusterCuck]

My Curve metal card keeps being declined when using contactless in various supermarkets but works ok if I use chip and pin.

Last night I tried to pay my HMRC self assessment using Curve fronted backed by Virgin Atlantic +
It was declined so I tried again this morning but still getting this message:
“The card issuer of your selected card has blocked the transaction. Please contact them”

I made a purchase online using Curve/Virgin to see if it went through and it was fine.

I have now just tried paying my car tax with Curve/Virgin to see what happened and the payment also failed.

It worked ok last month with HMRC so wonder if it’s a temporary problem or changes are afoot?
