I use Cahoot who were owned by Abbey, I think they are all Santander now. I'd also called them a couple of days ago to check it was still there. It didn't make any difference. If you use the same card again ask them to put you on a positive list, it should allow all transactions for the next 30days. (This is what they told me anyway)
I spoke to a number of different people/departments over at Abbey this morning. But one of them gave me a pretty definitive explanation (which I'm inclined to believe) that pre-emptively flagging a particular future transaction (even if I defined the exact amount) would not be possible, as it's the "system" that deals with it, not them.
And said it would be fairly probable that the third attempt from Nokia (probably next friggin' week again), should go through fine, due to my having accepted the security checks of my two previous Nokia cancelled orders/charges.
The following item/s that you ordered was shipped on 2-12-2009 from our warehouse. I used barclaycard and the payment only went through because i rang them up to authorise it again, they say the authorisation only lasts 2 days
