If that is a store-bought VISA debit card or gift card, sometimes the system will honor one and most of the time it rejects them.


The system prefers bank-issued credit and debit cards.


If you are going to buy a card, why not buy an iTunes/App Store gift card and redeem it for a credit balance on your Apple ID?

Do you have a valid payment method in your account?


Unless you have a NONE option in your payment methods in your account details, you must have a functioning payment method, even for free apps.
