    Hey guys currently having trouble ordering off dabs with my Laser card. Slightly confused as why there isn't any option for laser to begin but my problem seems to be that my card is always declined after the AIB security check. I am 100% certain that i am entering the right details but i just want to double check to see if other people had problems with order by laser with Dabs.

    Cheers.

    As far as i know, dabs doesn't accept laser cards, I've never been able to do it.

    "We are happy to accept all the main credit/debit cards apart from Visa Electron, Diners Club, JCB, Laser and Discover, provided that the card is registered to an Eire address."

    Re-read it. :)

    It looks and sounds weird, but they still don't accept lasers

    Ahhh my bad. Oddly phrased is right. Well that's disappointing =( Is there any reputable computer hardware stores that accept laser ?

    you could get an o2 money card, they're pretty awesome and really.. pretty cheap when you compare them to the horrible horrible 3v cards

    although it would mean you'd have to wait a week or so before you get it/can use it online

    Already have a 3v voucher so i have no intention of getting another one. Would much prefer to use my Laser card if possible.

    Well, what do you want to order specifically? I find MemoryC.ie very good for all things memory related. and pixmania good for most other things.

    There's a thread already created on this forum, it's a sticky from the online buying and auctions forum. It lists the online stores that accept laser. Here's the sticky

    well alright, its no help to you now but i'll just say check out the o2 money card

    it ****s all over the 3v. if you put 30 euro on the card and only spend 27.. that 3 euro isn't wasted, it just stays on the card until you put another 30 euro on.. then you have 33 euro

    unlike 3v where you might have 15 vouchers with 1-2 euro on each of them and it's just wasted money 3v get to keep

    The maestro is kind of a lie on those cards, laser card's aren't proper maestro cards, It's only co-branded, meaning that the laser will work in ireland, and the maestro will allow it to work abroad, but online on chip and pin machines. Dabs still won't accept it, amazon is another example

    He's already tried using his Laser/ Maestro card anyway to order. I've done it before, it allows you to set up the card and makes you think the order has gone through, but then the aib security check fails
