Friendly Name?

Dist · 13 Jun 2008 at 22:32

Due to my previous thread getting closed because i forgot the company i mentioned was a competitor (since i forgot OcUK sell console stuff), im hoping this thread should be fine by the rules.

If i was shopping online at some online site, and during the checkout such a site asks for not only the name on the card, but also has a required field for "friendly name", what is a friendly name :confused:

Note: if there is a real life store called "some online site", im sorry and i hope its not a competitor.

friendly name is usually the name it stores the card details under on the site

ie. my tesco online account, i have "personal" as my friendly name for my debit card, "work" for business card etc..

just a nickname for you to remember it by - e.g. lloyds debit, goldfish, new card, old card, fred

Thanks for the help. Seems like i will have to go through the whole checkout process from the start again though, because the 'continue' button on 'some online site' doesnt work after entering my card details

Edit: and it looks like 'some online site' doesnt like IE either

the item i want is finaly in stock, and now the checkout doesnt even work.

then you should buy it from a half decent site, like Overclockers.co.uk
