Android App - updating credit card information requires Canadian style postal code. UI states that Canadian and USA visa financial institutions are supported. But, "Credit card validation failed" is caused because I can't input the USA style postal code associated with my card.
Ideally, App UI should allow for both.

The reason behind the issue was already explained and there is no need to repeat

@Socrates8567 the main issue is the postal code, not the credit card itself

Interesting concept. However, just remember there is a $6.95-$7.95 fee plus tax to purchase the gift card. Lowering the $30 to approx $21-$22.

Hello @johngiorshev and @softech
US credit cards are no longer accepted with Public Mobile. They haven't been accepted in some time now.

Walmart is currently offering a $15 Bonus gift card when you buy a $100 Prepaid Visa/MC debit card. You'll be able to use the re-loadable card for your Public Mobile account for regular plan renewals and purchasing add-ons.
