RE: payment taken 28 days before lab

Let's stop this trolling...

Guys, My amex was declined 24 days before my lab (like june 16)... Cisco
gave me more time to submit another payment method... I used my mastercard
debit card on the second payment attempt - it went thru. My bank, "bank" has
no purchase security, like amex, which I found out guarantees each purchase
forever, so they wont allow $1,250 (the lab fee in june) for things to be
charged they don't understand. Once I told them it was a "training purchase"
from Cisco Systems, they told me the charge would be approved and to have
them re-submit. By then I had already submitted the master debit card.

At no time was my seat in jeopardy...

I think on the flip side that if there was a problem with your credit card,
bank, etc. then they would notify you and not just cancel your seat. I seem
to recall a recent post where somebody said they overheard a proctor talking
to a lab participant about making the payment for that same lab.

Hi Alex,

If you actually login to your CCIE account, you will see that payment will
remain "pending".until the 28 day before exam. Then CISCO will actually
submit the payment.
