4.6.1 Notes on Card Blocks (G1 - G9)

  • Short-term blocks result in merchants receiving a message to try again; Visa guidelines instruct merchants to attempt up to 15 retries over 30 days.

  • Long-term blocks result in merchants receiving a message not to try again. These are considered as permanent blocks. Visa expect that the card should not return to the '00 Approve' state at all, or at least not within 30 days.
