The credit card company was having a problem with someone trying to use their card to buy something. They were getting “Security Code Invalid” even though the code was correct. The person wasn’t using the card for anything important, but they were having trouble getting into the security code because it was different for different devices. The credit card company thought it might be something wrong with their card or maybe someone’s device.
After being frustrated by this silly error, I finally got it to work by sheer luck. Actually, I could not figure out what the problem was so I just didn’t do anything until the next day. When we tried to enter the security code after 24 hours, somehow it magically worked.
After doing some online research, I found that this error can happen for all kinds of crazy reasons and it’s really annoying because you get no feedback as to why it won’t accept the security code. In this article, I’ve compiled a few of the reasons why it might fail for you and how you can try to fix the problem.
Try Re-entering Credit/Debit Info
If you have recently changed your password, try entering that information as well. If you don’t have a password, you can get one by going to Apple Support and signing in. ..
On the Account Summary page, under Payment Type, select “Credit Card.” Next, on the Payment Details page, enter in the amount you want to pay and click on the submit button.
At the top, you will see a list of cards and the option for None. Click on None and then click on Done.
Once that has been saved, go ahead and click Edit again and type in your credit card info again. Hopefully, it will accept the card info and you’ll be able to make purchases.
Make Sure Country Matches
Many people had trouble getting their security codes to work because their country of residence in iTunes was different from the country for their credit or debit card. ..
It’s a good idea to make sure the country for the billing address of your credit/debit card is the same as the country for your set region.
Locked Out Account
Apple has a policy where it can refuse to process payments for various reasons, but the most common is that the amount you’ve requested is too high. Sometimes this happens because you have a low credit score or because you don’t have enough money saved up. If this happens to you, there’s a chance that Apple will offer to refund your purchase or give you a store credit.
Apple has announced that it is introducing a new way to unlock your Apple ID account - by using an iTunes gift card. To do this, you will need to purchase one and then apply it to the balance. Once the card is applied, your account will become unlocked and you can verify the security code for your credit card.
Check Address Carefully
If you have an incorrect address in iTunes, it can prevent you from buying items from the iTunes Store. This is because the store uses the address associated with your credit card to identify you and track your purchases. If you have an incorrect address in iTunes, it can prevent you from buying items from the store.
If you have entered an incorrect credit card or debit card address in iTunes, it’s best to go to the website of your credit card or debit card company and check to see exactly what the address is and then make sure that is what you have entered in iTunes.
Deauthorize and Authorize Computer
You can try to select “None” as the payment method in your iTunes account and then deauthorize the computer.
If you have already reauthorized your computer and entered the credit card information, try again and this time enter the code that was sent to you in an email. ..
Try a Different Card
If you’re not sure whether or not you can make a purchase, it’s best to check with your bank or credit card company. If everything else is working correctly, then it’s most likely that you don’t have enough money in your account or enough credit on your card. If that’s the case, then it might be best to try buying something else from iTunes first.
If you need to purchase something immediately, consider using a different credit card. ..
