          Purchasing Bus Tickets Madrid - Porto on ALSA bus

          Jump to last reply Flag this topic

          Hi, hoping someone can help me out. I've just tried to buy 4 tickets on the ALSA bus from Madrid to Porto, leaving 23/12/09 at 11pm. Got through the purchase process and when I went to finalise payment got the message that "bank has refused this operation". I have previously informed the bank that our family would be travelling to Spain and Portugal December 09/January 2010 and that there maybe transactions on our visa card in the forthcoming months. Some accommodation transactions have already gone through without a hitch.

          Wondering if anyone else had this problem even though they'd advised their bank of travel plans.
