Hi,
I've been having a lot of issues trying to purchase stuff on Microsoft Store. It started after I pre-ordered the Xbox One back in late August. I tried pre-ordering Battlefield 4 on 9/3, but it gave me an error saying to close my browser and try again. I tried this across IE and Firefox multiple times, but to no avail.

When I called a store and asked if they could order for me, they said they encountered an error saying "Contact your financial institution." Furthermore, when I try to edit or add another completely different credit card, I get another error:

We can't authorize the payment method. Please make sure the information is correct, or use another payment method. If you continue to get this message, please contact your financial institution.

I have contacted them, and they said that Visa approved the $0.00 pre-order each time. However, I received no confirmation from Microsoft or any indication that it went through. I can, actually, buy songs from Xbox Music still with no problem.

At the moment, I don't have the money to cover my Xbox One pre-order. I wouldn't think that would not allow me to add another credit card, but I can't either way. I tried making a new account and adding the original credit card, but that did not work. It did, however, accept the second credit card. For some strange reason, it still won't let me buy anything on the other account.

I've been in contact with a lot of people, but no one seems to know what to do. Help would be GREATLY appreciated. If I could get this fixed before November, that'd be awesome.

My subscription to Windows Live Hotmail Plus expired & so did my credit card but profile is blocked. How do I get into my Profile to update my credit card?
My subscription to Windows Live Hotmail Plus expired & so did my credit card but profile is blocked. How do I get into my Profile to update my credit card?

How do I add a new credit card to pay for my annual subscription?  The web page likes my Visa and encourages me to change the expiry date on the now expired card.  But I want to switch to my Mastercard.  There doesn't seem to be a way to add a new card for payment.

 

This seems to be a very prevalent problem, but I am unable to verify the age on my account.  I have setup accounts for both of my kids, but I can only get as far as choosing a credit card to verify my age, but the process fails.  I have tried multiple credit cards, different laptops, different browsers, etc. 

 

I have even had the kid's account request access from the parent via email, this process fails too.  I have also faxed a copy of my DL along with the requested information to 425-936-7329 over 2 weeks ago without a response.  Please help.

I posted 2 messages here already about my daugther's account becoming blocked after I changed her country of domicile from UK to US. This change triggered a request for a parent to validate her account with a credit card. But since my non-US card details are not recognized the system won't le me validate her account.

 

Both times my message her was locked and an admin directed me to other support sites. I've asked for help on account.live.com and on support.microsoft.com and on windows.microsoft.com. For 5 days now all of my messages have been ignored. I have begged Microsoft people on the phone to help and several have actually hung up on me.

 

This place is ths only one where someone actually answer me. Please give me a way to fix this small problem other than a dead support site. I am imploring you. My daughter has been locked out for 5 days!!!

I received notice to update credit card info but they wont let me for 30 days
