Today I tried to use my Revolut card for the first at Lidl and another grocery shop in Paris, I was embarrassed to see that in both cases my revolut visa was declined. Could anyone from the team of revolut tell me the cause of such cases???
Contactless? Chip & PIN? New cards need to be activated with a chip & PIN transaction first before contactless works. Have you checked security settings? Do you get a notification stating a reason for the failed transaction? Are you seeing the transactions in the app?
Tsering,
Using it first at Lidl should not be a problem, as long as you stick the card into the reader and authorize the payment via PIN.
Contacless does only work if the card has been activated before using it with PIN.
So, you do not need to use it in an ATM first.
My card is standard visa card. i sticked the card into the reader and pressed the PIN as well. it says Pin is Okay, but after a while, appeared that “payment declined.”
“Terminated” usually means that you reported the card lost or stolen. Were you waiting for a long time for delivery? Support might be able to “unterminate” a card for you again. Cool. That would make it a Zombie card!
