App Store UK - Payment Methods

I couldn't find an answer to this elsewhere so I thought I'd ask in a new thread. The app store in the UK seems to only accept Mastercard and Visa - is there no other way to purchase apps? I have a Maestro card and really these should be accepted as standard. If there is no work-around I'll be one very disappointed Palm customer!

Hello laura and welcome to the forums;
Visa and Mastercard are accepted in all countries. Carte Bleu is also accepted in France, and Electron is also accepted in the UK. At this time, debit cards such as Maestro are not available as a payment option.

  • Why does my app store say payment method decline

    why does my app store say payment method decline when i down load a free app

    Are you using a debit card?  I read somewhere that debit card are not being accepted by itunes.  Go to settings/itunes & app store, tap on the ID there then on view account, log in and check payment details to see if they are correct.

  • Iphone's App store rejects payment method, even for free apps! Someone please help me!

    Hi
    Last night i downloaded some apps, that i had to pay for using my Visa Credit Card. I have had this set as my payment method for ages. Anyway, it all worked and i got the apps, but today i tried to download another app, which was free and i had to sign in to my Apple ID or whatever the prompt is, so that i could download the free app.
    I signed in and recieved another popup asking me to sign in and review billing information. I pressed OK and signed in again and was taken to the billing information and payment information page. On this page it says that there was an error with a previous purchase from the App Store and that i must check all my payment information is correct.  All the information that i had entered there when first adding my payment method was still there. Except for the security code.
    I re-entered the security code and pressed done, and the page said that the payment information was not valid, or not allowed and asks me to change my payment information and / or method. So i re-enter all my information for my payment method and it still doesn' t work. It still says that there is an error with a previous purchase and that i must recheck or change my payment and billing information. The error cannot be right though, as all the apps that i have either downloaded or bought have downloaded fine.
    Sometimes the error message changes to saying my payment information has been rejected, which cannot be right either, as i was using the payment method yesterday. I know i don't have any funds in my account at the moment, but that should not be relevant as i am trying to download a free app.
    I tried downloading different free apps, but was unsuccessful.
    Because I spent around an hour or so trying to download the app, i then downloaded the lastest software update, which was 6.0.1 or something. I updated from the 5.something software.
    I was still unable to download anything from the app store.
    I have tried to edit the billing and payment information from the App Store, Safari on the Iphone and from Google Chrome on my computer, none of these have helped.
    If someone has a soloution or if Apple can sort my account out, i will be so grateful.
    I use an Iphone 3gs and updated the software on it after my payment information wasn't working for about an hour.

    This happened to me about a year ago, call Apple customer service and they should be able to help. It had something to do with Apple's system not reading the credit card info correctly even if it had been stored and worked fine before. They fixed my problem instantly after I wasted alot of time trying to get things to work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why cant i down load my free apps it says payment method decline

    why cant i down load free apps it says payment method decline

    iTunes uses your payment method to ensure you are who you say you are and to ensure you have a way to handle in-app purchases if necessary. If you do not have a payment method in your iTunes account, then you need to update that. If you have payment method there and it is refused, it could be the bank that is refusing the way that iTunes and other merchants will put a temporary charge on the card to ensure it is valid.

    What country are you in, and did you follow the instructions on that page exactly for creating an account i.e. you selected a free app in the store and clicked on 'Create Apple ID' when 'buying' it ? I've just tried it and I got the 'none' option.

  • App Store Secure Payment

    Hi, the App Store will not accept my Visa Debit card or my MasterCard. They are both valid cards with ample credit but system says in red they are not recognised. Please advise.

    Make sure that the billing adress and the card owner's name are right. also check if the security code is right. Also don't share your credit card or personal information with anyone to prevent fraud.

  • Apple app store card payment

    Hello there,
    I have had my iPad for over a year now and it has never asked me for my card details only thing it has asked me for is to confirm my password when I'm buying something, but recently it has started asking me for my bank details now I put them in and it says declined but I am not buying anything it's doing updates for apps now I have already spoken to apple themself but they said I needed to contact apple tech support but they said something about needing £1 in my account for them to verify the care is valid which I accept but I have money in there and still says declined.
    Could someone please get back to me regarding this issue I have the latest software for it.
    Thanks

    This is all about local licensing performing distribution and production rights in media industries .
    Its not actually Apples doing and contrary to general belief Apple do not use location services or IP addresses to block access between regional stores.
    What they do use and you have now found out is Billing Address and Valid Payment card.
    Your Payment cards first four digits are in fact country codes and they will be rejected  if they identify a differing country to the store you are viewing.
    THIS IS HOW APPLE COMPLIES with the licensing performing distribution and production rights.
    Now because Apple are not using IP addressing you can still use your home store and download from anywhere
    (It breaks the EULA terms but does work!)
    If you are now in Canada permanently however are retaining your home banking service I could suggest you get a Visa Prepayment Card such as this from the Post Office - you don't need a bank account for these.
    http://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/productsservices/visagiftcard.jsf
    Top up and use it to open an account in the Canadian iTunes Store and for any other local spending !
    Or simply buy Canadian iTunes gift cards !

    Yes, that's a link specific to Apple and the iTunes Store. It launches iTunes and takes you to the appropriate place in the iTunes Store once you've signed in.

  • App store payment method change

    I tried to buy some paid apps with different payment method. However, it keeps saying that there is error message.
    Please tell me how to change payment method. 
    Thank you

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • Why app store is asking to vertify payment info for free products?

    Why app store is asking to vertify payment method even for free products? And after that I still can not download any free products from the store.

    Verifying payment method validates your Apple ID.  You need to do this even if the charge is zero.  Can't get around it.
