iCloud rejects the credit cards I am trying to use to increase my iCloud storage.

What sort of rules or other restraints does iCloud inforce that would reject a valid Credit Card #?


my iTunes credit card was hacked I need to enter a new credit card to purchase more iCloud Storage. I have tried TWO existing credit cards and they were both rejected. I don't know why

Review this document about what to do "If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store" Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT203005 It mostly just suggests you make sure your payment method is up to date or to try a different one. Apple is probably just checking with the system linking to your financial institution and asking if the payment method is valid. The system is providing a negative response. Make sure the name and address are entered exactly as it appears on your financial institution bills and that the 3 digit CVV is correct. Check with your financial institution about the status of your card.

If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
