Need someone with a credit card...

[db!]

Hey guys,

I just attempted to place an order for a few samples from ON semi and they only accept "regular credit cards". I attempted to place the order with a reloadable credit card(which was registered to me and my address) but it wouldn't go through.

I am looking for someone within North America (preferably Canada) to help me place the order (approx $15) and to ship the parts to me. I can repay you via paypal for all fees incurred. I am also willing to pay in advance if it gives you more peace of mind. Reputable member only!

Thanks

You don't have friends,family,co-workers locally with credit cards?

Maybe this is something specific to the "!" in your user name, but clicking on your user brings up a profile for "db6546" and states that user is from the states.

The ! in my username is causing it; I did contact admin a while back and they didn't respond. Either ways, it's not a big deal...

I honestly don't know too many people with a credit card; I suppose I could ask my parents but it would be kinda awkward to be asking for "mommy's credit card".

If required; I can provide references from other forums, ebay, etc...

Are you sure that's really the issue? Some credit cards block international orders as a default when a card is issued; they want the user to proactively phone them and clear up the usage before allowing those transactions.

I'm pretty sure this was not the case, I phoned ON semi's help desk and I was told that it's probably the card. I have used the same card on several digikey and mouser orders in the past and this was never an issue.

I have heard on the rumour mill that semiconductor help desks are experts in credit cards, but just the same why don't you do something absolutely crazy like phone your card provider

EDIT: ah, you added that last part after I posted You make a strong argument but I would still call your provider.

This is true. Eventually all members will have to remove those sorts of things.

Seriously, no takers? How about a little incentive? I'll have a grab bag of goodies(Pots, caps, transistors, mosfets, random tubage, etc) whipped up for anyone who assists me in this matter. I'll even pay shipping.

I just got someone, thanks for the replies!

I am trying to order several free samples from ON semi. The samples themselves are free but there are shipping and handling costs involved... Someone has already offered to do this for me, however, if the deal falls through, I'll let you know.

Did you weight the cost of "free" samples vs buying it from digikey / mouser?

the only time I actually called up to get free samples is if there is no stock for months or that the part is so special that nobody will carry it (i.e. Honda ecu plug)
