Can't update credit/debit card info

[Vellrad]

My old car expired with the end of the year, so I wanted to update a new one.

50 tries later, it still says my it can't confirm my billing information (bug 30005), which are 100% correct.

Bank says my card is working OK.

Submitted ticked on support, but I doubt it will do anything (didn't ever recieved automatic e-mail response).


Any solutions to this?

[MsEricka]

You can call Turbine to take care of this. It's pretty quick.

[Vellrad]

Thanks, but trans-oceanic phone calls are not option for me.

This thread may have something to do with that...maybe it's not fully worked for you folks in Europe?

This sticky thread also has good information on what could be causing this error. Two of the most common causes of this error are:

-the billing address is being entered incorrectly
-the billing address is too far away from the player's current location

The Account Support team will respond to your ticket to assist you with this. However, to get assistance with manually updating the card information, you will need to call them directly, as card information cannot be accepted via web inquiry for security reasons. Their contact information is in my signature. It may be worth looking into Skype and Google Voice phone services, as you can make international calls for a fraction of the price.

You could also fax the card information to have it updated. If you would like to fax the information, please PM me for the fax number.

I'm sorry but the statement "-the billing address is being entered incorrectly" makes me REALLY annoyed.

Mainly because from the link you have linked the following statements:

Card and Address Field Character Limits

-Cardholder Name: max length 30 characters (15 first, 15 last)
-Address Line 1: max length 30 characters
-Address Line 2: max length 30 characters
-City: max length 20 characters
-Zip or Postal Code: min length 5 characters, max length 10 characters.
-If you don't have a postal code, just enter 5 zeros.
-If your postal code is 4 characters, add a "0" to the end.
-If your postal code has more than 4 characters, put a space in the middle. (ie "A2B3CD" should be entered as "A2B 3CD")
-We've found that codes of 5, 6, 8 and 10 characters work best. If your code is not one of these lengths, try adding zeros at the end

Guess what? If my postcode is "1234" (most Australian ones are 4 digits - there are some that a 5 but they are special cases) it's NOT "12340"

There is no "entered incorrectly" about it here.


You system is incorrect.


Maybe I just got up on the wrong side of bed but the arrogance and telling the customer that they are wrong here really really annoys me. How *dare* you?

So when I go to myaccount it has my address wrong. When I update it, it tells me I have to update my credit card details as well, even though they haven't changed. When I update my credit card details as well it then tells me it can't process the request.

And one of the solutions offered is to put an extra 0 on the end of my postcode? Really? Then it's not my postcode and differs from the one my bank has on record.

I have a ticket in with support, but no response as yet. I hope they get their act together before my account subscription is due for renewal in a couple of weeks. There's a lot of other games out there to play.

I had exactly the same problem. I live in Norway and our ZIP code is 4 digits. So I got the error message. When I instead typed 00000 as suggested by Turbine then everything worked.

Why not make the ZIP code an optional value instead of a mandatory one? Different countries have different rules for ZIP codes

[raymo72]

I am trying to update my Visa, got a new one, entered everything correctly and it keeps saying

"The system was unable to update your billing information. Please verify your billing information and try again later. If you continue to experience this error, you may wish to try another credit card or contact your issuing bank. To request further assistance, please visit support.turbine.com."

Let me add Ireland to this fantastic screw up.

Turbine, you have players from all over the world, stop having billing systems that only expect US way of things.

- In Ireland, a lot of places don't have any zip code AT ALL! Entering 00000 isn't exactly working. My address sums up to:

Name of place where house is
Name of bigger area where the place of house is
County

NO HOUSE NUMBER, NO STREET, NO ZIP CODE. Stop demanding that **** from me, it does NOT EXIST.

- In Ireland, pre-paid visa cards are common, stop asking us about an address in them. They do NOT HAVE ONE.
- In Ireland, sometimes you live MILES AWAY from your bank. Stop telling us that it's oh so far from where we live. We know and we can't do squat about it because there isn't a bank in every village.

This isn't a problem with us, Turbine, our DATA ISN'T WRONG. It's a problem with YOUR BILLING SYSTEM. Stop expecting the world to live by US standards and do what other International companies do... accept our foreign stuff without asking us for the US way.

I am seriously getting annoyed that I can not get this fixed. It will be 7 business days on Monday since I submitted my ticket so hoping for a response then.

Not exactly true. Most pre paid cards can be registered online and have an address attached to them for systems that require a match like Turbine does. The fantastic part about this is that you can enter your address to have a zip code of 00000.

This is Ireland... you're talking about a country that only discovered visa electron cards last year (until now there was only some "Laser" thingamabob something or other that I had never heard about in my life until I moved here) while I had been using them for over 10 years already back in Portugal.

Online service? Let me tell you a couple of fun facts:

- We have a token meter for electricity in the house (installed after the ESB decided we owed them 4K Euros for the 2 time in a row, both times after some "update" to their billing system that made them "lose" 2 years of paid bills... ).
We have to hop on some shop (gas station, grocer, polish shop... wherever the service is) to charge our electricity... and pray the person at the shop knows how to charge it.

- We have both visa and pre-paid card. If we want to charge the card, we have to hop to the place that issued the card unless you want to call their CS and wait over a week to have the money charged into the card... and pray the money doesn't just vanish.

Zip codes in Ireland?

In Ireland, unless you live in the major hubs, there are no street names, zip codes (and even there, they're very rare or completely nonexistent) or house numbers. I don't live in a major hub and as such, my address doesn't have anything other than:

Blipblop (I live here)
Thingaplace (The place where I live is in this bigger place)
Co. Placething (The bigger place is in this County)

That's it... don't ask me how the post office people find to whom the letters belong to. I have no street name, no house number, no house name, nothing. In the area, there are more houses... and all our addresses will look like the example I posted.

Welcome to Ireland, the Emerald Island. You'll be hard pressed to find more laid back people (that leave a restaurant with a gas leak for 3 days because... who cares...) and there a lot of nice places to visit... there's a catch though...

days since ticket submitted = 9
responses received = 0

I had similar problems that error messages kept on showing up even I had double (or triple) checked the information I entered.

So I had to resort to phone calls to do my VIP subscription and buy TPs...... It is still true if I have to buy TPs now.

Fax might not be a good option as you do not want a passer-by to pick up the sheet with your credit card information written on it.

Over 7 business days no response. New ticket submitted.

Over 7 business days no response. New ticket submitted.

Same, re entered card details, that part seemed to work though I suppose when my billing cycle hits in a few days I will know for sure. Turbine points are still broken accessing that card. And of course still NO response to orignal ticket so I have resubmitted one. Gotta say this is not good at all.

All of this is inspiring me to play my barbarian.

Grrrrrr.

[Vellrad]

Right now I don't even care.
If they don't make working tool to take my money, that means they don't want my money.
If they don't want my money, I'm simply not gonna give it to them, and will have to trade for TP codes instead.

[MeliCat]

Well this is interesting. I get an email (not at the account I expected it to go to but nvm) and it's addressed to a person who isn't me with a subject line with a ticket number that isn't mine. But it's the same basic form initial email with no actual response to my ticket.
