If you are ordering from the Borders teamed with Amazon.com site using a Borders and Waldenbooks Visa card, please note that we cannot grant points for orders that are shipping to an international address.

Amazon.com does not currently support the Verified by Visa program. You can still use your Visa credit card as payment for an order, but you wont be asked to enter your Verified by Visa password.

If you're paying with a Visa Check Card, please select Visa from the drop-down menu on the order form. Similarly, if you're paying with a EuroCard or MasterMoney Card, select MasterCard.

You can safely enter your entire credit card number via our secure server, which encrypts all submitted information. If you prefer, we also have a way for you to use your credit card without ever having to enter the complete number on the Internet.

When filling out the order form, simply enter the last five digits and the expiration date of your credit card on the order form. This gives us a way to track your order but guarantees your security. Once you have fully submitted your order, you will be provided with a phone number so that you may provide us with the rest of your credit card number.

Please note, however, that this option is not available for orders placed with Amazon Marketplace or Auctions sellers.

Why did my credit card authorization fail?

It is not uncommon for a request for credit card authorization to fail once or twice before the card is finally authorized. We will send you an e-mail if we experience difficulties in authorizing your credit card.

You are always welcome to submit new credit card information to us for a particular order, provided that the order has not yet entered the shipping process. To do this, visit Your Account and select the link to "Change payment method."
