    • If your credit card is declining and you're not sure why, please check the following: 1) Be sure that the name entered into the billing area matches exactly the name on the credit card -- even if there is a middle initial, 2) Double check the expiration date and the security code -- have you received a new card recently?, 3) Double check the address entered into the billing area. It needs to match exactly. Have you moved recently? **If you continue to experience problems, you may want to contact your credit card company. You are also more than welcome to give us a call and we will do our best to help you.

  • My order declined and now I show a charge on my credit card.
    • When a credit card declines, the credit card company will put a "hold" on those funds. Depending on the credit card company, that hold can stay on your account for 2 to 7 days. Once it is realized that a transaction never completed, the hold will disappear.  If you are concerned, please let us know by e-mailing us at theribbonretreat@msn.com.
