yeah my buddy works for capitec IT department , says he gets allot of calls about these cards, normally a software update fixes it, i think software on the machine on that side, needs it , I think debit mastercards is quite new, normally just had cheque or credit cards with them on.

Oh crap...so what...untill the outlets that have this problem decides to update their software we gonna have this problem? :mad: Surely MasterCard South Africa should be sending out a communication to all merchants and card machine vendors to update software?
 
Just got a SMS from Capitec saying that this is a known issue that is in hand with Nedbank as it is Nedbank terminals doing this. I cant be sure...but I could have sworn the terminals inside the Caltex shop is ABSA..but perhaps I was mistaken.

I just hope it gets resolved soon....cause it is going to be a pain in the bum.

At this Caltex that I always use (around the cnr from my house)...they always used accept my old Capitec card. They have those portable machines that they just bring to your car. Never had one declined transaction with the old card. Now with the new one I have had two in two weeks for no good reason.

Also had this problem at Caltex. Old card worked fine but new card got declined.:( Luckly I had enough cash with me.
 
So I went and changed my card for the new chipped card. The process was quick and simple.

A couple of hours later I bought a game off Steam as well as verified my card on PayPal. Also very quick.

Very happy to be with Capitec.
 
Went in last week to get the, they said they will only have it next month...

You can pay for petrol at any petrol station as long as they have a debit card facility (most stations do). Only experienced issues with Caltex as there seem to be an issue with the new cards and their debit/credit card facility.

Yep that's why I asked. At caltex as well.
 
I've had issues at three petrol stations, all different companies. But this is over the four years I've used my Capitec card.
 
I had my card declined again about a hour ago at Musica. Getting really irritated. 3rd time now. tsk.

Sent Capitec a email again about it. urg.
 
Went in and got my new card today.
Got the Secure Code SMS - gotta get it activated and see how it rolls.
You're getting me worried Ockie :o :)

Good luck bru
