agree  George Rabel: exactly.. but this is an Eng-Span question, or is it? I think she inverted the pair

  -> Doesn't make much sense, does it?

rechazar tarjeta de crédito
Transaction declined / not authorized, Credit/funds insufficient.


Explanation:
Why am I so sure? Well, hasn't it happened (rightly or wrongly) to you?
This, or something much like it, is the usual phrasing. Usually topped off with, 'Contact your financial institution.' It's a good example of euphemism: language designed not to offend the recipient.
