Says my security code on my Visa is bad but it's not. Help?

send the email straight to apple support or bring the card to apple store

One thing to check, which has caused this error for some: make sure the name and address information in the Payment Information for your account matches that of your credit card exactly, even to not using a period after "St" if your card billing information doesn't. There have been reports that any small difference can cause the card to be rejected. Worth checking, anyway.

If it continues to fail, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and explain your situation to them. Going to an Apple Store will do no good as there's nothing they can do to fix the problem.

Regards.

I am having the same problem and am going crazy here trying to get it fixed. I cannot purchase anything from the store and in fact I cant even update the security cvv code on my card without getting an error in the store. I have sent an email to support hours ago and no reply yet ! Its absolutely insane that you cannot speak to a person on their end to get these problems fixed faster. I am trying to setup a paid app for my business and if this is the kind of downtime I can expect from apple then how can anyone possibly rely on them ???

email support only is a great way to tell your clients to "**** off and call someone who cares" !

Absolutely brutal !
