After the activation of 3DS, you will have to renew your stored credit card(s), in order to take full advantage of 3DS.
To do so, you will have to delete your stored card(s) and enter the data of your credit card(s) again. To delete a stored card, you have to initiate a purchase, and then long-press on your stored card in the “Stored payment methods” section and select “Remove”. You can then abort the purchase process.
As there is no possibility to store a credit card beforehand, please ensure that you have the following credit card data available during your first ticket purchase:
  • Credit card number
  • Expiry date
  • First and last name of the cardholder
  • CVV Security code
Please keep also in mind that all products within the mobile shop of CFL mobile are for an immediate respectively for a scheduled use.
If you will not delete and recreate your stored cards by October 1st, CFL will delete every stored card which was stored before the 3DS activation, i.e. September 15th. In this case, you will also have to enter again your credit card data during the first purchase.
After the 3DS activation on September 15th and with a newly stored credit card, you will have to validate your first purchase with 3DS. Depending on the card issuer (your bank), this 3DS validation will be done through an SMS Code, an eToken code, or a software solution like Luxtrust. Depending on your bank and on their selected system, you may need additional devices at the moment of the 3DS validation (e.g. eToken). Please ensure you have these available, if applicable.
For the subsequent ticket purchases, a 3DS validation will not be necessary on a regular basis. In some cases, however, a further 3DS validation can be requested in order to complete the ticket purchase. For example, after reaching a cumulated amount of purchases, a new 3DS validation can also be requested.
If the 3DS validation if not successful, the ticket purchase will be aborted.
