You might be surprised to hear that its less Visa, and more the billing companies excuse for their shit service.
Go ahead billing companies, jump on that all you like, but since we stopped dealing with 3rd parties we've had no trouble getting sites approved in DAYS.
Coincidence? I doubt it.

Actually CJ I wouldn't be surprised at all with this scenerio. Makes perfect sence although I am not quite so sure it has to do with the 3rd parties shiity service. I tend to think it is a more of a numbers game.
3rd party billers come in with say 15K new accounts (websites) a month to be checked over by VISA or whoever. Last yesterdays, last weeks and even last months hasnt been submitted for review yet because of a back log. But then you have a company who provides their own billing, no 3rd party at all, it very easy to track their history and I believe to give them quicker service. They can skip the middle man.
I think the problem is with the shear volume that these 3rd party billers have to deal with on a monthly basis, and no doubt that setting up your own billing is the best situation you can have, but for some companies that option isn't doable.
