My payment has failed, what should I do and will I be charged a fee?

When you make a payment online, or over the phone, you'll be advised straight away if your payment has been successful, and we'll instantly provide you with a reference number/authorisation code.

If your payment is declined, we recommend you check the details you entered and try again. If you're making a payment online and you've previously saved your card details, please check that your card hasn't expired or been replaced, before you select it to make a payment. If it has expired, or been replaced, please delete the out-of-date card and select 'Use a different card'. If the payment is still declined by your debit card issuer, you'll need to contact them for more information.

Please note, payments are authorised straight away with your debit card issuer. This means, you need to have cleared funds in your bank account when you're making the payment online.

If your payment is declined again, we suggest you try an alternative payment method. There are a number of ways to do this, depending on whether you have an Amazon Barclaycard or another type of Barclaycard.
