Credit card getting declined but no issue with the card

[emmahowlett]

I keep getting this issue where public mobile will not accept my credit card but there isn't an issue with the card. 

Tried all the suggestions in the last form but didn't wait the half hour to make sure i didn't trigger issue. How do i contact a Mod?

If you are in contact with moderator, you could ask moderator to add the credit card information properly and set up autopay.  

As mentioned before, the billing address needs to exactly match your credit card address on file.  Ignore apartment numbers.  

The payment system is finicky, you could try a different web browser, device, clear cache or incognito mode.

Here are some suggestions and pointers when it comes to cards and payments with pm that you can refer to in the future if you have already been in contact with the moderators.

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.

1. Reboot your device.
2. Clear your browser, use secret/incognito mode in firefox, chrome or safari.
3. Choose replace card rather than remove card.
4. Copy your address from your billing statement.
5. Add your apt/unit/suite # to the street address. ie. 101-123 1ST AVE W, CITY, PROV.
6. Do not put a space in the postal code. X0X0X0 not X0X 0X0.
7. USE ALL CAPS if necessary.
8. Do not use autofill. Type everything manually.

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 the moderators.

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.

i suggest you can try it for a different Browser
and clear cache and cookies for any Browser,

and use a Browser from your computer,
and just make sure your Browser is up to date update
sometime is the Browser is not update is give a issue.

and Restart your computer, is will help.

and if you use a home internet please do one thing take it your power internet for about a minute and put it back,

just make sure your credit card number and your address match the same,

sometime your typing it but is a one word or letter or number is a wrong or is missing just make sure for it.

and you can Remove your credit card and Logout and after 2 minutes log in and re entered.

Here, you will have the option to either select ‘Replace this card’, where you can enter the details for your new card, or ‘Remove this card’. You will need to review and confirm this change to your account and then you’re all set..Remember, we accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and Visa Debit cards that have been issued by Canadian or American financial institutions and are associated with addresses in Canada or the U.S. If you are using a payment card, leave the apartment/suite number in the payment information section blank.
