  • For a transaction occurring at a merchant located in the Europe Region, the account was permanently closed before the chargeback was processed

  • For a transaction occurring at a merchant located in any other region, the issuer deemed the account not to be in good standing (a “statused” account) before filing the chargeback

  • A card-not-present authorization was declined by the issuer and subsequently approved through Stand-In processing or X-Code with an approval response as specified in the Authorization Manual with the following exceptions:

  • The issuer generated a decline response that included a value of 02 (Cannot approve at this time, try again later) in DE 48 (Additional Data—Private Use), subelement 84 (Merchant Advice Code).
