Can't update Payment Card, Your payment method and country don't match.

Can't update Payment Card, Your payment method and country don't match.

I'm in the US, my Address is US Based, My card is US Based, I have not changed countries, my previous card was US based. Yet.. I still get this message. 

Your payment method and country don't match.

Funny enough though, I do see that my country is "US" on the bottom, but if I try and update my country then it displays "USA", this does not help however. 


I've tried both on my mobile device, and windows pc (both chrome and edge).

Using a discover card if that helps?

Hey @yesman13,


Thanks for coming to the Community.

 

In this case, it's best to double-check with the issuer of your card if it has been issued in the US. 🙂

 

Let me know how it goes!

Yup, it was issued in the US.I can only assume that it might be a bug with the way that the country is returned by your credit card system and Discover cards. Is there a way to create a ticket for a dev to verify that they're not doing something like card.Country === user.Country when it might be that my country is US and the country in the card is "USA"

Hey @yesman13,

 

Thanks for getting back.

 

Some card providers operate in several countries and therefore the country where the card was issued isn't always identical to the country you live in.

 

I can't say if your card provider is one of them, since I don't know it's name, but it's certainly a possibility due to the error message you're seeing, so I recommend reaching back out to them to see if it can get sorted.

 

Alternatively, you can try using a different payment method.

Not sure that it helps, but once again, I'm trying to add this card

The country is still US, 

Alright, @yesman13 - Thanks for the link!

 

I still recommend reaching back out to the issuer of your card regarding the country your card was issued in. Or, alternatively, you can try using a different payment method 🙂

I have the same problem with the Discover credit card listed above. I contacted Discover when I first encountered this problem and they verified that the card was issued in the US. I agree with @yesman13 that this seems to be a bug with how the country names are matched/not matched.
