If I have to guess I am not the only one that get this kind of messages … But since It is going to happen often with users having a C2 membership ONE day long would not be more appropriate that C2 will start to perform a validation of the credit card of new users OR take the responsibility for the payment before to disclose our systems? Another way will be the use of PAYPAL which I am unsure why is not available here. THX!
We do indeed validate credit cards before any subscription. Sometimes, later, the transaction is declined. When trading is involved, we try to extend the benefit of the doubt to a customer, whose trading may be interrupted if we terminate a subscription abruptly. This is why we have a grace period for customers who have already been validated, but who then – subsequently – have a credit card declined.
I completely agree with your case. However the case depicted is toward new comers that because they did not start trading yet they will not suffer any trading abruptly interrupted. I am sure you got my point without going too much into detail.
