AWS Update Payment Method - Unable to add new credit card or bank account
Every time I try adding a new billing method in "My Billing Dashboard > Payment Methods", I am given an error message similar to this one.
"Your card ending in #### was not added. Please verify the card information and try again."
I have tried 3 credit cards and 2 bank accounts to update my AWS service billing method and have received a similar error message each time.
Is there an alternative way to add a new billing method to get around this error? I have been using the same credit card for over a year but had to cancel it last month, so I currently do not have a valid credit card on my AWS account.

Hi Amy, I reached out to the support team on October 21st. They stated that they were escalating my case on October 22nd. However, I haven't heard from them yet and have not been able to get my payment info updated.
I am really worried at this point that AWS will not allow me to update my billing info in time to make my payment due date.
My case number is 5*********, any help is appreciated!
Thanks Craig. The support team was able to help me and I have been able to successfully update my payment methods!
In case anyone else runs into this issue, I was unable to update my payment information because I had an access key that the AWS team identified as being compromised. After I deleted the key, I received an email thanking me for deleting the compromised key and I was able to add a new CC to my payment methods.

Hi AndrewB192.
I have the same problem:
Your card ending in **** is not supported for payments to AWS seller in your region. Please try adding one of the following supported cards: mastercarddebit, MasterCard, American Express or Visa.
How did you remove access key? I'm not able to login to the console.
