My card still working for international transactions and am charged N208.6/$1.
my question is, how can I buy a single item of about $900 as I get payment decline each time I checkout on the item.
Just need how I can buy an item of about $900 on amazon.

Buy Amazon gift cards of multiple of $100 each and load it on your account till it reach $900.
Your payment is been declined because there is a limit how much per transaction you can carry out.

Thank me later

By now I guess all banks would have suspended the DCC option (Dynamic Currency Conversion) which enables buyers to check out of Amazon in Naira. One of the only 2 banks that I know were still offering that option pulled out last month-Stanbic IBTC, while the other one-Zenith bank pulled out just yesterday 13th June. However you can still use you Naira MasterCard to check out in USD, only that the rates are not friendly; I think stanbic offers the beets rate for now and it's a fixed rate of N315/$1.

You will not be able to purchase a single item of $900 because of the daily limits on the Naira MasterCard, as a matter of fact you can buy anything that's more than $200 since $200 is the daily POS spending limit, that's why your payment keeps declining.

If you must purchase that $900 item, then you will have to obtain a Dollar MasterCard, guess most banks have that, the spending limit is high. I've been using GTBank Dollar MasterCard linked to my dom account and I've never reached my daily limit. The only disadvantage is that you have to source for dollar by yourself.

Hope this helps.

Yes, they all have. Sadly.

No you don't have to get the dollar denominated card to buy a $900 item.

You can buy gift cards on Amazon up to each daily limit, till you have bought enough to purchase what you want. I paid for a $900+ cart this way.

GTB charges me ~N225 / $1 for exchange.

Those days, when we complained about the 1:225 exchange rate.
