What rank do you have in the Grand Company? You might be trying to purchase something beyond your current rank value.
Or, Did you happen to change Grand companies? For example, you switched to Malestrom, your Flame seals while still recorded become un-usable. On a GC switch, your rank resets and you have to rank it up all the way up again.

Its divided into categories: Enlistee, Petty Officer, Officer. Each category expands on what you can purchase. You'll just need to look it up on the vendor for which rank you need.

Ah, well those are rewarded by undertaking the Hunt, specifically, the ARR Hunt (both daily and weekly Hunts) - only the Hunt marks on the Huntboard in each Grand Company HQ reward them though, the Hunts for Heavenswardand Stormblood reward a different kind of currency (Centurio Seals).
