Too bad a lot of US issued cards are too ancient for this age. SQ backend probably only accept new generation of cards for online verification. Your cards are still good for manual processing, but not suitable for automatic process.
AMEX is better at this because most AMEX cards are issued by AMEX.
I am US based but I am very confused as to why the charge did not go through. I made a redemption booking only 5 days earlier and it went through without a problem. I have to make another booking in the next few days. I am hopeful that one will go through. Calling and hoping to get an agent who would transfer me to a redemption agent was a pain. I am thankful however that the website was able to hold the reservation until the payment was made.
