Arghhhhhhhhh.............. 🤬 

It's a non-specific message that can be anything from not putting the card expiry date in correctly to a problem at OS

Ring your bank and see if they can give you a clue

Tried one last time after removing cookies/cache etc but "computer says no", perhaps it doesn't like my bank of Scotland visa debit card, never had a credit card so guess I'm mapless (for now)....bloody annoying that PayPal doesn't work for the digital sub.

 

Has trump cancelled all my accounts like he has with the ICC judges and UN Special Rapporteur Francesa Albanese?, given what I've wrote about him and the gestapo thugs running the U.S I could almost believe it 😉 - perhaps he doesn't want me to have the detailed mapping as I've previously got form (back in 2016) and removed for riding my Scott Genius over his Turnberry courses - there's a very nice grassy knoll overlooking the 4th hole "woe-be-tide" green that I've previously mentioned....................perhaps I've said too much?........... 😟 ......

 

I'll try again tomorrow, will get mum to bring her royal bank Scotland card over.

@somafunk are you ticking the two little boxes on the left that are conditions/mailing? And… have you created an account so you can log in? Hopefully bank of Mum can help!

yeah, tried ticking “I agree to terms/conditions” - nope. Tried ticking both - still nope , created an account last week which logs me in fine but makes no difference.

 

I see there’s a phone number on my original “cannot pay for digital mapping” enquiry so will try to call them tmorn. 

🙂

If I don’t hear back by tmorn I’ll give them a call, been up/down at hospital past couple days and completely forgot to call OS helpline beforehand.

 

Its amazing what mapping is available for £17 (or even full price as it is now), i remember in the early 2000’s when tracklogs first came out, think my mapping of the entire uk was around £500 and it came on multiple cd’s but it was brilliant to sit at home, plot then upload to my garmins. Etrex in 2000, Geko 301 in 2004 and the Edge in 2006.

No response from them despite 2 emails/messages sent and I did attempt to get through on the phone but gave up after 20mins on hold so sod it.......I doubt they'd honour the £17 price when I originally attempted to buy and I'm now all spent up till middle February, if I have spare cash left next month I may purchase the mapping then.

Mmm yes, STW strikes again! Camelbak are still shown too but when you click on it you go somewhere else. Same with Garmin - certain items only..

I've got an email saying my usual subscription renewal payment will be charged in a couple of days despite having a 2027 end date due to the offer. 

Anyone know if I will or won't be charged and this is just an automatic email based on my joining date?
