your Verified by Visa password.
*If you are using a Visa,
MasterCard, or American Express gift card, please note the
following restrictions:
- pre-paid gift cards can't be
combined with credit cards on a single order
- pre-paid gift cards can't be used
to
sign up for Amazon Prime membership
- Amex Gift Cards can't be used to purchase Amazon.com gift cards
Can I
use a
debit card or check card?
If you're paying with a Visa Check Card, please select Visa from the
drop-down menu on the order form. Similarly, if you're paying with a
EuroCard or MasterMoney Card, select MasterCard.
Is it
safe
to enter my card number online?
You can safely enter your entire credit card number via our secure
server, which encrypts all submitted information. If you prefer, we
also have a way for you to use your credit card without ever having to
enter the complete number on the Internet.
When filling out the order form, simply enter the last five digits
and the expiration date of your credit card on the order form. This
gives us a way to track your order but guarantees your security. Once
you have fully submitted your order, you will be provided with a phone
number so that you may provide us with the rest of your credit card
number.
Please note, however, that this option is not available for orders
placed with Amazon Marketplace sellers.
Why did my credit card
authorization fail?
It is not uncommon for a request for
credit card authorization to fail once or twice before the card is
finally authorized. We will send you an e-mail if we experience
difficulties in authorizing your credit card.
You are always welcome to submit new
credit card information to us for a particular order, provided that the
order has not yet entered the shipping process. To do this, visit Your Account
and
select the link to "Change payment method."
