conulyAmazon, for some reason, has had trouble with the payment for this last order. It seems to think it goes to the canceled card instead of the gift card balance, so I've had to manually fix it.
That's not the interesting part. The interesting part is that the email suggested I check to make sure, among other things, that my cc's expiry date is correct. I know this is a Britishism. What's really unusual is that on their add a new card page they definitely use expiration date. Different copyeditors, I guess.
