Hi,


If you are having issues with updating your payment method on your Apple ID, make sure you do not have any unpaid orders and/or subscriptions that are set to renew and charge your cc. If you are adding a card that does not have the amount owed available, it will decline.

Hi,


Check your purchase history to confirm if you have any unpaid orders pending on your Apple ID.

That would be a valid reason for a decline upon attempting to add a payment; other reasons would be attempting to make a purchase and your bank blocking the charge or having insufficient funds on that payment.



Hope this helps.
