    Can't authorize payment method


    I'm trying to make a purchase but it keeps saying "Can't authorize payment method" and I tried to do the remove then add the payment option thing but it didn't work. This is weird considering I have been making purchases recently without any problems.

    P.S. I'm not considering using prepaid cards, just in case you were going to suggest that.

    :)

    Can't authorize payment method

    What payment method are you trying to set up? You say you're not considering using prepaid cards. Does that include prepaid credit cards? If were you trying to use something like that Xbox doesn't always accept them.

    Ok thanks. Does your gamertags region (country) match where you physically live?

    Alright. What you should do then is give phone support a call and see what they suggest. As this seems to be a billing issue they will be the ones who need to deal further with this issue.

    If you live in North America dial 1-800-469-9269

    Method of Payment is Not Authorized

    Btw Mister Zoso, the problem is that, we are trying to purchase microsoft points from the Xbox live shop, but it's always denying our request to ourchase the points we want to receive, our credit cards are completely fine, it's up to date, all the information
    was out down correctly, but it's always denying our request to buy points. Please fix this, we really want to buy points! :) (I want to buy points for BF3)
