  I tried to sign up for the Premium service and the website won’t take my payment. I’m using Opera v12.16 web browser and Linux Mint. Any ideas on how you can take my money?

  This may not be a browser related issue. What makes you think that it could be one please? Do you get an error messages?

  See here for the only accepted means of payment.

  Payment Methods on WordPress.com

  I used my American Express card. I think that qualifies as a Major Credit Card. When I pressed the pay button, nothing happened. No error messages, just nothing happened.

  Hi there,

  Sorry for the trouble! I just checked your account, and I see that you successfully signed up for a WordPress.com Premium trial (and your card was accepted). Did you use a different browser in the end? If there is an issue with making payments in the Opera browser, I can certainly investigate that more on our end.

  I don’t know what happened but Opera decided to work. I didn’t change anything except to try to get WordPress to accept my credit card again. Thank you for helping.
