Q: Your payment method was declined

Im really getting ****** off. I keep getting "Your payment method was declined" when I try to purchase an e-mail voucher for a friend. I have spent 2.5 hours trying to solve this, I know how much my friend would appreciate it else I would tell apple to get fu$%ed since getting help does not seem possible. I have tried 2 different accounts. I just want to buy a freaking voucher or punch an apple employee. Anyone know what is going on?

    Hello,
    The problem happens to appear in Europe, too, in Bulgaria where I live. I got my credit card from a Bulgarian bank (not using an US account), I have all my information filled in correctly but yet this message continues to appear. I'm running out of patience and I'd be really thankful if anyone recommends anything that can help.
    Thanks in advance

    Had the same issue. Tried using some of the above methods, but nothing helped. Neither signing out, choosing "None" as the payment option, waiting, changing cards, countries.

    I was starting to think, that this is some kind of fraud protection used by Apple. I'm from Lithuania and all of my cards are from Lithuanian banks. But currently I live in the UK. So I thought that iTunes/Apple is preventing from using Lithuanian credit card information for someone who is based in the UK and might have gotten the cards' information using illegal methods.

    However, this was not the case. It turns out, that the bank has asked me to sign up each of my credit card for some sort of Visa Online Security Program. Having failed to do so in time, I was ineligible to make any online purchases with them. So I signed up for the program via online banking and iTunes imediately accepted my card.

     

    I know this is probably not the case for most of you, but you might check this option as well.

    Thanks a bunch! That solved it for me.

     

    I removed the old card info from the account (set payment method to "None").

    Then set up the "Verified by VISA" online purchase security.

    Waited approximately 20 minutes and re-entered my new card information in the account settings.

     

    Worked like a charm. Awesome.

     

    Thank you!

    My girlfriend bought an iPad 2 and i setting up this devine. Is the first Apple device i'm working with. My opinion is that Apple policy is a little annoying and arrogant.

    First the flash problem.

    Now this problem with app store "your payment method was declined"... (app store worked a few days and now this problem).

    The guys form Apple like to tell to their clients (people who give them money, and enriches them) what what is good and what is wrong, what is allowed and what is denied... Just like in communism...

     

    Whell... Next days I will change my smartphone so unteal this experience I was not decided what to choose iphone 4s or samsung galaxy s II .... Now, I'm very sure what to choose in the future: FREEDOM. My money, my decision. I want flash, i don't want someone to force me to give him my card details a hundred times and other ....t.

     

    Apple lose one client and i hope it will lose enough clients unteal it will understand that wen a client give you his money, you can not  be so f... arogant and you definetlly can not threat him like a garbage after.

     

    P.S. : sorry about my bad english...

    I am having the same problem too. I have tried some of the suggestions here that are applicable (I live in Nigeria. We have no Apple online store. Only an iTunes store). I might try the different computer thing later but it is pointless since all I can buy are apps in the first place (no music etc where I live).

    Maybe is a problem with apple and Itunes? I don't quite understand why they keep denying my credits card, all the settings where done in Argentina and my international credit card is from Argentina. I've changed  several time the information (with every credit card I have and the address is correct). Is not my first time using an online site, so is not a problem with my comprehension. I've already sent an email to ask for solutions. So I hope for an answer tomorrow
