Anyone done a Business Express submit to Yahoo UK in the last couple of weeks? I just tried, and I can't get the damn thing to accept the card number.

The form seems to have changed a bit, and I think that the final page now requires a US state or province in the address field. Won't take the normal kludges - any suggestions?
I have emailled them but who knows when they will deign to respond?

I did two yesterday - took the Visa card OK

Dont remember if I did anything unusual along the way, I think I just ignored the 'state' option (it only accepted two letters, so I left it empty).

Yahoo may have “gone all Yankee” but I’m impressed with the adaptation for correct regional spelling between UK and US. (Sorry if this is old news but only noticed today and some of our markets are particular about spelling).

A simple example is the use of “specializing” and “specialising” in US [dir.yahoo.com] vs UK [uk.dir.yahoo.com] versions of a sample category.

well, I still can't get the damn thing to take the company visa delta card, but I've given it my personal credit card and it liked that :-(

In answer to my message about the card being rejected, I got this:

"please call us at:
408-349-5151
6am-6pm, Pacific Time, Monday-Friday."

Mmm, very UK focussed.
