Great! How would you like to pay?

With my credit card please?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dialogur_head-07-1024x1024.png)
Ok, you can insert your card when you’re ready.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dialogur_head-09-1024x1024.png)
Oh, it said it didn’t go through.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dialogur_head-07-1024x1024.png)
Give it another try. Sorry, there’s another error message. Maybe your card expired?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-09.png)
Actually, they just issued me a new card.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-07.png)
Did you activate it? Or maybe you’re over your limit?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-09.png)
I activated it before I left, and it’s a brand new card. Can I try it once more?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-07.png)
Of course…. Sorry, it didn’t go through again. But this time it says to contact your bank.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-09.png)
That’s really strange!
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-07.png)
Did you notify your bank you were going to be traveling?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head-09.png)
Ah, that’s what it is. I travel enough I should know better. I’ll use cash instead.
