Unable to add Payment Method

I can t add any credit card to my account. I tried 6 different credit card master, visa, American Express and debit. No luck. I couldn’t buy any thing for 1 year. Is this Facebook Oculus!!! Why you bought oculus!!! To make more harder to serve oculus services!!! That is enough for me. Just solve my problem. You have big problems but no one can see these and no one try to solve it on your team!!!!

 

different computers, different networks, different credit card types AND NO LUCK TO ADD NEW PAYMENT METHOD.

 

Some of screenshots:

They are solved my problem with these error screen shots.

 

When open support ticket, you have to tell them to provide these question answers;

 

  • Recently made a successful online purchase from a US merchant?
  • Check to see if the financial institution placed any restrictions
  • Try another network connection type
  • Try another network location
  • Try different combinations of the area/zip code
  • Restart the device
  • Try another device
  • Try another payment method

 

I recommend that you send the answers to these questions in your first ticket message to reach a quick solution. My problem solved in two weeks. I don't know why I get this error. They did not explained anything to why occurs this problem.

 

I hope anyone can solve who gets these error messages. Now, i can add payment methods to my account.

I just got my self a quest 2 last night and I just tried to add 2 different cards and on my phone, quest 2 and pc and get the same error, messaged meta support and gave them my info and was told to try again in 5-6 hours 😞

 

just an update, I just tried to add a card on the PC in MS Edge and Firefox and Chrome and none worked 😞

another update, no reply from support and I just tried to add paypal to my account and still get the error 😞

Something went wrong and we were unable to add this payment method. Please try again.

Big Thanks to support all sorted, added my card and playing my new game 🙂

My solution was to go on my PC and go to the oculus web site.

None of this worked:

. Using the oculus app on PC

. Using the app on the quest 2

. Using oculus on my phone.

. Using oculus web site on my phone

 

I tried also 2 different bank and only one worked.

 

I tried it over 2 days.

 

What a challenge to buy something for quest 2 😅

From Oculus support; which worked for me. 

I have had this work sometimes in the past so, if you wouldn't mind I would like to give this a try. If you would go to https://auth.meta.com/settings/account/ and change your email address. And then go ahead and try to make a purchase for me. 
 
You would still be login with your Facebook this would only be changing the email for your horizon profile. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

Im having the same problem and its driving me crazy.   I want to subscribe to super natural and it will not take any payments.

My oculus will not take any form of payment.  I did a 2 week trial for Super natural and then I tried to subscribe to continue with annual package.  It would not take any source of payments therefore it was suggested that try another email and now it is doing the exact same thing after the 2 week trial.  It will not take any source of payment.  I'm totally frustrated

I too am having this issue.  I can't add any type of cards, or my paypal, it wont even let me buy gift cards.  I already opened a ticket and have been passed around to like 20 different support people all asking me the same exact questions as the person before.  Yes i've tried everything. Still has an error every time I try to add any type of payment at all.  No one seems to be able to solve this issue for me and there's a bunch of stuff I want to buy.  Ticket number 6988639 if it helps.
