Ok guys, on Monday I did the online purchase I was going for (since I have a higher limit). Tuesday morning I received an email saying that some problem with the payment arised and the store had to cancel my order:
"I am very sorry but unfortunately there appears to have been a flag raised on the payment and under the advice of our card company, I have cancelled the order."
I asked for details and what I got was this answer:
"Unfortunately, we are not told the exact reasons for the payment not being accepted and are advised to cancel the order."
I don't know why I had a flag, I don't know if they can see that wirex is behind, but banks in the UK do have a history of making things hardes for bitcoin users. On the other hand, I've bought other stuff with my previous wirex card (not that much expensive though).

Fortunately, the store crew is very helpful, so I'm arranging a another way to pay for it.

Right now I'm waiting for the refund to arrive (the store said they already send the refund...let's sit, wait and hope).
I think the wirex card was abuse by many users where actually you are buying or what is the site you use the wirex?
I think much better to find other alternative to wirex which is unique 6 digit bin that still not receive any flag in any site or store..
Because there are many users of wirex which is they use it to make like aws account abusing the wirex and use the vcc in and now i think wirex is not acceptable right now with aws account..
So always look for unique 6 digit bin.

It was just a local bike shop (they have several stores at the same region). I don't think they sell it globally, it wasn't Amazon, Ebay or something like that.
What do you mean by a 6 bin? The card has 16 digits, shouldn't the first 6 be the BIN, the other 9 the account and the last one the checksum?
