Diane Sorry. I've only ordered once from TNA and it all went swimmingly. Are you sure its the card number - if it says that for both cards you tried then there may be a mistake their end - or perhaps your cards have expired. I had a message from ONS when ordering certs from them about my card and it turns out that I'd typed my full name instead of my initials, which is what is on the card. nell

Had no problem with Docs Online but a more general one: We had a problem when the post office had updated - "improved" - our local postcodes and we didn't get around to notifying the credit card company for ages. We had to keep putting the old postcode for online/telephone purposes otherwise the system couldn't match up the number and address. Christine

Ones a new card this months but have used it in shops and been fine, other I've had for ages. I've sent a feedback e mail and hope they get back to me. Only used them once before but no problem at all. Hopefully a glitch on their site. Itching to download the medal card though. Diane

I used it last night too funnily enough! No probs with card, don't forget to tab to next box after every 4 digits and between the month and year of expiry date. Also double check you have selected the right card type - maybe it jumped to a default while you weren't looking! Maz. XX

Cracked it!! clicked on delta sign instead. Very strange, both my cards are Visa. Never mind got there in the end. Image not brilliant and doesn't say much, looks like he got the Voctory and British medals. Not much of a victory when he was killed in action aged 36 in 1918. Diane
