Subject: Issue Adding VISA Card to Microsoft/Xbox Account

Hello Microsoft Billing Team,

I am trying to add my VISA card to my Microsoft/Xbox account but I’m receiving the error:

"Check that the details in all fields are correct or try a different card."

The card is valid and works on other websites without issues. I entered all information correctly (cardholder name, number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address in Qatar).

I also tried logging out and back in, changing country to Qatar, and re-entering card details multiple times, but the issue continues.

Please assist me in resolving this issue or advise on the correct method to add the card.

Country: Qatar

Thank you for your assistance.

    Dear Hanan Abd Jaleel,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A.

    I understand that you are facing issues while adding a new card as payment method, and you receive an error message "Check that the details in all fields are correct or try a different card."

    Few of the things you can check while entering the details:

    • Enter your name precisely as it appears on the card. Only include your middle initial if it appears on your card.
    • If this is a company card, enter the company name as both a first name and last name. For example, if the company name is "Contoso Shoes" split the company name into the first and last name fields.
    • If the company only has one name, for example, "Contoso," enter the company name in both the first and last name fields.
    • If you are asked to enter the address and it exceeds the Address 1 field, use the Address 2 field. Do not shorten or abbreviate your address.
    • The card number and type cannot be edited, so if you make a mistake, you'll need to add a new one with the correct information. Other credit card information can be edited, such as billing address and expiration date.

    For more information, you can refer the section Errors & troubleshooting in the article Add a new bank or credit card to your Microsoft account.

    However, if you are still facing issues while adding a new payment method, we have a dedicated accounts & billing support team who can assist you better with the issue.
