Will have to resolve it in the morning.
Well Citibank (I´ve got 2 MC´s with them) also didn´t want to allow the transaction to go through.

The fraud department called me up and said that "Telecommunications Retail Services" had tried to charge my card. I have to admit that I´d find that name suspicious by itself. Then on top of that some of their retail practices are even more questionable.

It´s not MC or Visa that thinks they´re cooks, but your bank. I ended up using a Visa I have with my local credit institution for the tab.
