2.3 Permanent Card Status Codes

Thredd card status values ‘46’ (Account Closed), ‘83’ (Card Destroyed) and ‘98’ (Refund given to customer) are considered permanent status values. If the card status is one of these, you should never respond to an authorisation request with an ‘00’ (Approve)4.

If you want to use non-permanent blocks, Thredd recommend you use one of the new 4 temporary block card status codes (G1, G2, G3, G4), to make it clear that the account is temporarily blocked.  (A temporary block can always be changed to a full block, but not the other way round.)

For details, see Full List of Thredd Card Status Codes.

2.4 Full List of Thredd Card Status Codes

Below is a list of the possible card status codes. Also shown are the Visa and Mastercard response codes that will be sent for both a normal authorisation (auth) and for refund authorisation transactions. Codes ‘G1’ to ‘G9’ inclusive are new.

Response codes in Visa Category 4 (generic) or Mastercard value ‘05’ are highlighted in yellow. For details of categories, see Decline Response Code Categories.
