HT1918 my billing method is declined

Ok so basically I can't update or purchase anything because it says my "billing method" is declined.
There is nothing wrong with my details I have all the right ID required to use my card but it still says decline.
My games and apps are suffering or I can't use them because of this no I don't wifi I have a prepaid/wifi IPad2

What sort of card is it ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

It says billing method declined ??
I can't download anything or update any apps

What are you trying to use as your billing method, debit card, credit card ... ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why it's being declined (but if it's a debit card then you may not be able to use it) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

Billing method declined ???? I have money in that !!!

Although I have money on my prepaid card and it is not expired AppStore claims that my my billing method is declined why ? I need immediate answer !!!

These are user-to-user forums, we won't know why, but I'm not sure that prepaid charge cards are accepted as a valid payment method in the store.

When I try to download an app, the billing settings appears and when I type in my billing information it tells me my payment method was declined.

I'm trying to download a FREE app, and when I do, it:
1. Tells me to sign in (what it usually does)
2. Takes me to Account Settings [Payment Method], and in red letters it reads: There's a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please update your payment method.
So I type in everything correctly, and I make sure over and over again (and I've retried the whole process multiple times). Then it stays on the same page and in red letters read:
Your payment method was declined.
Please enter another payment method.
I check my debit card account and it is fine and it has money in it, and i've been using that same debit card for my apple account for a while now.

Either add a payment method that iTunes accept or contact iTunes about using the method that you think is valid.

I get this sometimes with the card I've been using for years. I'm not sure what happens but usually, all I have to do is go into iTunes and edit my card info. Instead of changing anything, I just save the changes even though I didn't make any and then iTunes will then automatically resubmit the over due charges.
This same thing also happens with SiriusXM account and at least once ir twice a year, I get a past due notice in the mail. Frustrating even though there is nothing wrong with my card.

While trying to make in-app purchase sign-in required alert pops up. It takes me to my billing info saying my payment method was declined and to input a new credit card. I use a debit card that I know has more than enough funds on it. Any ideas?

Billing method denied. I know for a fact that I have the money. Any ideas to whats wrong?

Try purchasing and redeeming and iTunes gift card.
Contact iTunes if yo know your current payment method is valid. Form the message it appears that it is not valid (has no funds)

Hello AleeBee,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see the following information for your payment being declined:
If your payment method was declined, update your billing information. You might need to use a different payment method. When you update your billing information, remember to check these things:
Make sure your name and address match the information on file with your financial institution.
Use a payment account that's in good standing.
If there's a problem with a previous purchase, you'll see a message when you sign in to the store or try to make a purchase.
Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store

Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)

Take care,

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

"Your payment method was declined. Please enter another payment method" Error

Hello,
I've been trying to download an app for about two hours now. I recently got a new Macbook and iPad, my iPhone is a bit older and has been used frequently. I have only bought paid apps with my iPhone (and other iPad -- not usable currently). I have been trying to download a game which is $4.99 on my account, I have tried with my Mac, iPad, and iPhone, no luck. Every time I get a error saying "Your payment method was declined. Please enter another payment method". I know for a fact I have more than enough money to pay for this app. All the details have been checked and checked again. What is the problem?
I also get an error when first buying the game (or attemting to) and it says something along the lines of "You've recently used a new device or computer to access this apple id, please sign in to confirm your purchase". That then leads to my confirmation of my security code on my card, which is triggering the first mentioned error.
Apple Support has not yet given me a response, can any of you help?

I think that for some international copyright issue, Apple is now blocking purchases from your store if they detect that your IP is outside the frontiers. I've been using my Canadian Visa Card for two years to purchase from France on ITune Store Canada and I never had a problem until today. Impossible to buy RunKeeper Pro. I get the same message you get. The only option seems to swithch back to IStore France and modify the account details with a french address and a french credit card.
Are you in a similar situation?

Is there a way to gift an app with the billing method as store credit

I want to gift 4 apps to my friend but i dont have a credit/debit card becuase im a kid. Is there a way to gift the apps when the billing method is store credit like a itunes giftcard?

No.
You CANNOT gift using your balance AT ALL.
No matter how you ask; you cannot gift with your balance.
You can use your balance for your own purchases only.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Payment method is declined and I cannot download apps neither update them. What can i do please??

Do you have a different card that you could try, or does the 'none' option show on the payment's screen (you might not get 'none' if you owe money or if you have a payment coming up e.g. pre-order, auto-renewing subscription) ?
What are you getting the 'declined' message on, credit card, debit card ... ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
