Troubleshooting Online Payments
- Make sure the address entered matches the billing address for your credit card exactly.
- Debit card users often have a daily spending limit lower than credit cards - call your bank for more information or to request a temporary increase so that you can make a payment.
- Double-check that your credit card doesn't have a daily spending limit.
- Paying for multiple travelers? Some credit cards may not allow you to make two identical, high-value charges on the same day. Space out your payments by 24-36 hours if necessary.
