Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[Niqote]

--------------------------------------------------General frustrated QQing--------------------------------------------------

I've been using the same credit card to Pay SE for years, yesterday I received a error 406 for the first time and I have tried multiple submissions. Exp. date, Balance etc all are fine. Husbands account is fine and uses this exact same card.

--------------------------------------------------Current steps taken--------------------------------------------------

I have called my bank

The payment I sent though is pending, meaning my bank is not blocking it and they are just waiting for the transaction to end. I DID try multiple times but the bank would not accept the duplicate payments as they are waiting on the very first one to be approved

So the first time I got the 406 it was really accepted, then my second time I got a 406 it was rejected because there is already an identical payment pending.

After contacting SE Chat support - I now have to wait approx 24 hours for a email from the finance.

After 20 hours - No word from SE... and it will be the weekend for support now so I assume I will be unable to connect for a few days T_T

As for this morning - I've bought a time card. Fine, that's a band aid.
However I am getting pretty irritated that 2 of my retainers (Which hold my Gil!) are now locked and there is no other options to pay for them except for card methods.

I am going out to purchase a pre load debit card to try pay for my retainers with it... wish me luck please

--------------------------------------------------Conclusion and Solution--------------------------------------------------

And good news... My 'Load&Go' Visa prepaid card worked - I have purchased my retainers.

Oh and to clarify, I am Australian so this may or may not work for you ^^;;;;.
EU time card bought at CJS CD Keys and 'Load&Go' VISA bought at Australia post where they keep the giftcards

Hope that info helps someone else.

--------------------------------------------------Looming threat--------------------------------------------------

I'll still be chasing this 406 because it simply should not be an issue.
