I have been trying to renew my Apple Developer membership for a couple of days now, talking with support at Apple provided very little info on what might be going on. The card i use, is the card I have used before, and is being used for other Apple services and purchases, so it works with Apple. Still no luck paying for the Apple Developer program. The support from Apple suggested that I try with another card, well, It would be just weird for me to just open a new bank account and different cards just to try to debug their system, which worked well with my bank, Raiffeisen, and I am not very keen in switching my bank. So what can it be done? I could go and talk to people at my bank, but I thought I will leave it for another step, and give Revolut a try. I quickly opened an account with my Phone, then used a virtual disposable card, and surprise, Apple accepted the payment, so that was the solution. Hopefully this will help other Apple developers around the world to purchase an Apple Developer account.
