Why do I get an "Invalid Credit Card" error?

There might be several different reasons why we can't accept your credit card. Please review your Yahoo! Wallet to see if the following apply to your account:

  • The credit card has expired, reached its limit, or is not being authorized as a valid credit card.
  • The credit card is not authorized for Internet transactions or has some other block in place.
  • The credit card has not been activated yet.
  • The address you provided in your Yahoo! Wallet does not match the address the bank or credit card company has on file for you.
  • Your bank does not participate in the address verification system.
  • You might also want to double-check to make sure you have entered the correct card type and expiration date. Make sure that you haven't added hyphens (-) in the space where you entered your credit card number.

If you have checked over your Yahoo! Wallet information and everything looks correct, contact your bank or credit card company. They might be able to help you address the problem.
