    That's an abnormally high rate of declines to be seeing. Can you send me an email (john@stripe.com) and I'll look into it? One change we're making is giving you better insight to w…

    I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing it's now too late, but if not I'd be happy to take a look at your case and escalate it. My email is john@stripe.com.
