Your payment method was declined. Please enter another payment method.

I cant Even download a free app because today i was gonna download YouTube and it says Your payment method was declined. Please enter another payment method.

Why would i buy a free app.

This has to stop immediately.

OK, and what is your question that you would like us, your fellow users, to help you with?

Make sure that you're using a true credit card, not a debit card, and that the card was issued in your country and has a billing address in your country, and that you're using the iTunes Store of your own country. You cannot use a credit card from another country, a debit card, nor can you use the iTunes Store of another country.

If all that is correct and you're still having problems, go here:

http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Hi, my problem was solved.

First, you need to check the balance on your bank account.

Then, you need to open the itunes on your laptop and sign in. There, you can see "purchase history". Click on that.

Under the purchase history, you can see the amount you owe to Apple. If your balance is lower than the amount you owe, then you need to top up some money to your bank account.

Make sure the amount you want to top up is higher than the amount you owe.

Then, open your apple id account and click payment information..insert back your debit card info and your billing address. Then, click "Done".

That's all.. After you complete this step, under payment method you can see "None" option appears. Try this out!

(Sorry for my bad english, hope you can undertand what I want to share)

So does it mean, that a person if does not have a credit card, he cant own an Apple iPhone and register on iTunes

No, it does not mean that. You can certainly register and activate an iPhone without needing a credit card, assuming of course your cell carrier does not require you to provide one. And there are ways to get free apps without needing a payment method, the process for which has been covered in many threads here already.

Regards.

I have the same problem. I used the same card for a couple of years, and today I noticed that I can't purchase any apps, because my payment method was declined. What should I do? Thanks!

I have enough money in the bank but itunes still not deduct the money and still treat it as debt. It is 1.99$ app and i have 2.44$ in my bank. This make me crazy. Should i topup some money? tq

This worked for me. thanks msfara

hello what is this every time come same issue ...how can i solve it to whom i call this issue????????????

I have similar problem, when updating apps on my Ipad - except the apps I am trying to update are free apps. E.g. the Skype app I have requires an update but I cant do that because my payment method was decline - what the H... is that all about? Why does Apple want credit card details for free app updates, that is not on and smell of corporate greed. I have entered the credit card details but it still keeps coming up with the same message.

Apple, please get this bug fixed and get on with the program or else I will revert to WIN systems.

From and unhappy Apple user!!!!
