Purchasing not allowed for Chase visa??

metoo · Oct 18th, 2008, 10:18

I have a United Milege plus Chase visa card. I also have a Bank of America Debit and visa card.

When I try to purchase train ticket, it only showed Citi and American express (the 2 I am familiar with)

Am i out of luck to purchase online?

When you get to the payment options, choose the Axis bank gateway and enter any VISA card.

You can also use the Citibank payment gateway.

Be warned, many US card issuers consider web payments to India suspicious, and they may suspend your card and/or may call you to discuss potential misuse of your card.

I used Axis and it worked but than I was denied after 3 ticket purchases and i had to call my visa bank to confirm my purchases.

Hey Silvana....Hal is absolutely right...I just got back from US and I was trying to make some reservations from US through internet but one of my card was blocked. I then had to call Bank of America and Citibank to tell them that I am going to India and to let me use my card there for 6 months.

I think it will be prudent if you informed your bank about this and tell them not to block it when you are using it in India.
