Hi Folks 👋 I was trying to repay my gratitude to someone by buying them a Deliveroo gift card - in these times I thought it would be something to alleviate stress and faff, give them a little time back. I used [https://deliveroouk.launchgiftcards.com/](https://deliveroouk.launchgiftcards.com/) - seems legit, Deliveroo themselves point you there - but my Monzo transaction was declined and refunded _twice_. My wife’s HSBC card was declined. My Mum’s credit card was declined. Then I look a bit deeper and get worried: [Launchgiftcards Reviews | Read Customer Service Reviews of launchgiftcards.com](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/launchgiftcards.com) Now I’m thinking … 😟 … are all of our card details now with dodgy 🤬 who can fraud them? Unsure how I can find out and get some peace of mind. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂 ---

> [@willjohnsnow](#): > > Monzo transaction was declined and refunded _twice_ . What does your feed say? Just to be pedantic, the transaction wouldn’t be refunded if it was declined as the money didn’t leave your account. It may be that card issuers are wary of them if a lot of fraud goes through there, doesn’t help if you want to make a legitimate purchase though! ---

The money left my account and then was almost instantly refunded and the order was declined. Very strange. 🤷‍♂️ ---

Hmmm, yeah potentially. I’ve now sorted it via a different website. Don’tcha just love formatting requirements! ---

Yes indeed, I sorted JustEat via HighStreetVouchers. I know - it’s the ‘official-ness’ that is reassuring me but also confusing me given the TrustPilot stuff. Weird. As you say, so long as I keep my 👀 on activity we should be fine. Just a bit … unnerving. ---

> [@willjohnsnow](#): > > Don’tcha just love formatting requirements! Wait till you try Pizza Hut. Every time I try to pay with Apple Pay on the PH website it gets declined ‘incorrect phone number.’ When I use my card details without changing the phone number, it works fine. ---
