Or, in the case of one particularly annoying site I tried to order from--a name mismatch.

The site was clear upfront that everything had to match EXACTLY or they would cancel the order. I logged in to my online banking and copy and pasted my debit card details to make sure there were no issues.

The one thing I didn't think to copy and paste was my own name because, I mean, I know my own name, right?

Apparently not as I'd entered "John Public" and to my surprise my debit card was issued to "John Q Public".




And here are I am who always writes %BANK NAME% and it works. Though my bank always demand 3DSecure.
