How come I'm now getting this error. The only thing that has changed is the expiry date on my cc which I did update in my account but iTunes is not accepting my card as a valid method.
iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 5.0.1

Is there any progress on this?
I cannot buy any apps for my new ipad. Very Annoying.
I've phoned apple and used the express lane.
Hi everyone, this is how it worked for me
First go to App Store on your device,
drag down to the bottom until you see "Apple ID: ........."
press on it and choose "View Apple ID", will transfer you to the Account page.
My Country/Region was set to Bulgaria, I'm in UK 😁. Basically I was giving UK address and postcode from my Debit Card but the country was different.
Press and change it, then press NEXT and Agree with Terms and Conditions etc.
One last thing, because my country was set to Bulgaria, App Store was Bulgarian too. To change it to UK I did "Turn On Genius for Apps" and then it switched me to UK store.
Same problem here in Canada. When I log in to my apple account online on my MacBook, no problem, but on my iphone via itunes store, it will not accept my card. Very strange and frustrating when I'm trying to buy apps.
If this is a security breach of ANY kind then we should be told as soon as possible. Many of us will have tried different cards with most of the data needed to use them.
Come on Apple a quick note on here to reassure us we don't have compromised cards is the least you can do ... if they are compromised then tell us so we can cancel them!
We are suffering from the Ashe problem here in Australia as well. Is it only with mobile devices?
I have just recieved my Iphone 4s and had this problem for about one hour, after purchasing a FREE book (could be anything that is free tbh) on itunes, i was able to purchase whatsapp and indeed any app from now on.
Hey everyone, after reading Nguyen90's comment I tried to download the same free app that had been doing my head in earlier and it worked. So Apple may have fixed the problem, go try it for yourself. Hope no one has any more trouble. Regards Trae Australia.
Hi, it seems it is working now - It does not say "payment method is not valid" anymore, but I don´t have my internet-payments-enabled credit card with me so I will try later today. It still asks me for credit card information verification.
SEE OTHER POSTS!!! Its been like this since YESTERDAY March 5th after 10pm It is still not working in Ireland I was just updating my card to and it is not working apparently other people are saying it was all hacked and Apple done this as a security mesaure but weather that is true or not I dont know PLEASE REPOST This message rather then keep saying its not working on your end thank you.
Hello, from friday 27/7 the same error appeared fo amex cards in Czech republic. I contacted amex they confirmed no issue with card, apple support sent me very similar advice as published above (check adress etc.), but service is still unavailable..., i didnt change anything ... Using the same card for ammount of transactions before..., strange...
Hi, yes I am using standard "debet" credit card American express, I am intensivelly communicating with Apple support but without any solution. From local online applestore helpdesk I have info that this is now problem of more users, but "outage" is still running and I am unable to use iTunes purchase service (with Amex card) now 7 days...
Thank you jim4ewa, it worked!!!
I set up my appleID while still in the UK - but I'd moved to Australia and just couldn't figure it out. I changed my billing address successfully to Australia online using my laptop but on my iPhone it just kept coming up with the same 'your payment method is not valid for this store' message - and it kept asking for 'County' - and saying my Aussie postcode was 'not valid'. Was going crazy for a while! Saw your post, did exactly what you said and the page asking for payment details changed from 'county' to 'state. Et voila - all apps now installing successfully. 🙂
Same problem here in Brazil.
Payment Type Your payment method is not valid in this Store. Please enter a new payment method.
