Many billing declines...Tips for preventing them?
There was a rash of declines this month, most get cleared up pretty quick but what are some ways to prevent them. Require credit cards only, no debit? Are certain bank's cards prone to this? I've had trouble with Wells Fargo cards.

There is no magic, but most should clear off over the next week if you just try charging them again.
One thing to consider - get people to switch to ACH by giving them a small discount off their membership. Zero declines and far cheaper transaction fees.
Ok, ACH would be direct from a checking account?
Yes, checking draft. It's way cheaper than credit cards and almost zero decline rate. Details here: http://www.rockgympro.com/?page_id=345
