Why won't WordPress accept my card?
-
I’ve been trying to upgrade my blog to a private domain, but WordPress is declining my card (I’ve tried 2 debit cards so far).
Why is that? Is there any solution to this?Thanks for anticipated responses.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Below are the only accepted means of payment.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/
If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country. Note: You can buy a prepaid credit card from an approved country or pay in Bitcoin.
In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.
The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.
More about echecks here:
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/article/?solutionId=13054&topicID=11500008&m=TCIWordPress.com also accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=bitcoin

staff-ozmodiar, just tried again and it’s still declining my card(s)–a MasterCard and visa card.
Is there a way around this?

staff-ozmodiar. Yes. It says “Your transaction has been declined. Please try another card.” I tried another card and its still declined.

May we please know what country you are in?
If for whatever reason, PayPal have chosen to block payment from your country and it does not appear on this list https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/, thenyou will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country. Note: You can buy a prepaid credit card from an approved country or pay in Bitcoin.

Ahhh, that is most likely the issue. Paypal (our payment processor) has specific countries that it will not process payments from. There may be any number of reasons for this. But most frequently it is due to a overly high incidence of scam or illicit transactions.

Bummer. I really wanted that upgrade :(
So how do I go about purchasing bitcoins? How flexible is it for renewing subscription annually? -
This may help:
However, domain registration and mapping cannot be paid for with bitcoins at this time.
