Why is my card being declined?
Sometimes, your payment may not go through, which can lead to the cancellation of your subscription. There are several possible reasons why this might happen:
Common Reasons for Payment Failures:
- Insufficient Funds – Your account may not have enough balance to complete the transaction.
- Expired Card – The card you’re using might have expired.
- Card Reported as Lost or Stolen – If your card has been reported lost or stolen, transactions will be automatically declined.
- Incorrect Card Details – Make sure you've entered the correct card number, expiry date, CVV, and billing address.
- Card Restrictions – Your bank might have placed restrictions on your card for certain types of purchases.
- Security Checks by Card Issuer – Sometimes, banks block payments temporarily due to suspected fraudulent activity or require additional verification.
Unfortunately, most card issuers categorize all these issues under a generic "decline" message, so you won’t always see the exact reason for the failure.
What to Do Next?
The best course of action is to contact your card issuer or bank directly. They can provide more information about the declined transaction and help you resolve the issue.
