Trying to update credit card and get message iTunes Store will not accept?

Review this document about what to do "If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store" Click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT203005 It mostly just suggests you make sure your payment method is up to date or to try a different one. Apple is probably just checking with the system linking to your financial institution and asking if the payment method is valid. The system is providing a negative response. Make sure the name and address are entered exactly as it appears on your bills and that the 3 digit CVV is correct. Check with your financial institution about the status of your card.

Make sure this is a payment method that you can use with your Apple ID; click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT202631

If you still have problems Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region/media-services Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

You ask me what I have in my mind, I have the feeling that Apple is not Apple any longer.

I have my iTunes account for 20 years but since two weeks they drive me crazy with payment method.

I tried every credit card and PayPal accounts I have but payments are always declined.

The system even told me to cancel my 20 years subscription to iTunes (which I did) to be able to change country and payment method, but it didn’t helped.

Now the system tells me to add a new payment method if I don’t want to lose iCloud and all my data.

Please Steve, come back to save us from **** and from these people.

We miss you so much.
