Why was my credit card payment unsuccessful?

Quick answer: Most declines come from an unsupported card, a mistyped security code, insufficient funds for the full term, or a bank block.

  • Use Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover only
  • Type the card number without spaces
  • American Express security codes are 4 digits, on the front
  • Funds must cover the full membership term in one payment
  • Ask your bank whether it blocked the transaction

Other card types are not currently supported.

Card number formatting

Enter your card number without manually adding spaces. Any necessary formatting will be applied automatically.

CVV (security code)

Make sure your card's security code is entered correctly:

  • Visa, Mastercard, and Discover: 3-digit code on the back of the card
  • American Express: 4-digit code on the front of the card

If your card does not have a CVV/security code, it cannot be used for online subscription purchases.

Check with your bank or card issuer

Available funds

Subscription purchases are charged as a single payment for the full membership term. Please ensure sufficient funds or available credit are available for the entire purchase amount.

Card validity

Verify that:

  • Your card has not expired.
  • The billing information entered matches the information on file with your card issuer.

Security restrictions

Some banks and card providers may block online transactions for security reasons. If you believe this may be the case, contact your card issuer to confirm that the payment has been authorized.
