Cannot subscribe to EA play, cannot add anything to payment methods

I am unable to subscribe to EA Play because it keeps on saying " unable to verify credit card " on the EA app and when I try to add a payment method using a card on the EA website it says the same thing, When trying to add a Paypal it says " Operation failed ", I accidentally closed my cases and cannot create a new one, it says that there are no recommended solutions to be found when trying to create a new case.

    In that case I'd recommend you go ahead and reach out to live support so they can look over your account and billing details with you further to see what's causing this error- on the site here, you'll select EA app as the product, then Manage my membership-> I want to update the payment method for my EA Play membership and you'll see the current available contact options.

    Hey there @ID_M_IDK_1,

    Let's give the following steps a try:

    • Use a different payment method
    • Make sure your billing details in the EA app match the billing details for your card
    • Remove and re-add your payment method from your account
    • Make sure the location on your account matches your real location

    If you still have issues once you've run through these steps, we'll need the live support team to investigate into this a bit further, as we don't have access to review your account details here on the forums. Live support can look into your account and see what's causing this transaction to get stuck, you can contact the team by submitting a help request on the site here

    I tried all of this except the removing payment method because I never could add one.

    They couldn't solve my problem and stated that my account is fine.
