Default Problems buying Tesco gift cards

Has anyone successfully purchased Tesco gift cards from the US on https://www.giftcards.tesco.com. I keep getting the error "Our velocity checks have rejected your payment details." I have tried 3 different cards and had the same problem with all of them. Unfortunately I am limited to only being able to use cards registered at a UK address.

Google "velocity checks" and you will gain some insight. I suspect that the more you try the more likely it is that you will be rejected .Gift cards are a common way for fraudsters to gain benefit, so the security on them is often strict.
