If you have already tried twice you need to wait at least one hour before trying again. In the meantime look up your official Canada Post address and compare it to your credit card billing statement address to see if there are any subtle differences. Then follow this guideline....
Follow this method when making a manual payment/adding a card to the account....only use the emboldened portion of the instructions if the payment card is already on file.
- Reboot your device.
- Clear your browser, use secret/incognito mode in firefox, chrome or safari.
- Choose replace card rather than remove card.
- Copy your address from your billing statement.
- Add your apt/unit/suite # to the street address. ie. 101-123 1ST AVE W, CITY, PROV.
- Do not put a space in the postal code. X0X0X0 not X0X 0X0.
- USE ALL CAPS if necessary.
- Do not use autofill. Type everything manually.
- Use the full name on the card.
Once you successfully update your card do not attempt your payment immediately. Log out/in then go to make a payment to pay for your renewal. Otherwise if you were not suspended I would recommend a $1 test payment. Follow my further instructions for a successful payment to unsuspend your account.
Do not try more than two attempts at adding a card or payments ( successful or not) or you will continue to get this message. Wait at least 1 hour to try a third time another hour for your 5th try....and so on....and do not make more than 4 unsuccessful tries with the same card in a 24 hour period or you will trigger a fraud alert lock out requiring assistance from customer support.
Go to make a payment. Choose the "other amount" option and add $1 more than the amount owing and submit the payment. If that is successful go back to your overview page and if it does not say active click on the reactivate button. If that works log out and reboot. If that does not work and your payment is in your balance rather than showing $1 then go to the usage or plans page. Click on lost/stolen and suspend your service. Log out/in. Resume your service. Your balance should now be $1. Log out and reboot.
If you are still unable to add it thru the payment page under "manage my card" then try by going to "edit my profile" on the overview page. At the top right corner in tiny letters you will see a reminder to update your credit card info if you have changed the address by clicking "here"....that will bring you to this page.....try your second attempt on it.
