    Hello Александр Устинин

    There could be several reasons why you are unable to add your credit card as a payment method in Microsoft Azure. Here are a few possible explanations:

    Invalid card information: Double-check that you have entered the correct credit card details, including the card number, expiration date, CVV code, and billing address. Make sure there are no typos or errors in the information you entered.

    Card restrictions: Certain types of credit cards may not be accepted by Azure. For example, prepaid or virtual credit cards, gift cards, or certain types of corporate credit cards may not be supported. Verify that your credit card meets the requirements for use with Azure.

    Billing country restrictions: Azure has specific restrictions on which countries are eligible for billing. Ensure that your credit card is issued from a supported country. If your credit card is issued in a country that is not currently supported by Azure billing, you may need to explore alternative payment methods or contact Azure support for further assistance.

    Payment gateway issues: Azure utilizes third-party payment gateways to process credit card transactions. Temporary issues with the payment gateway or connectivity problems could prevent you from adding your credit card as a payment method. In such cases, waiting for a short period and trying again later may resolve the issue.

    Account verification: Microsoft may require additional verification steps to ensure the security and integrity of your account. This could include providing additional identification or contacting Azure support to complete the verification process.

    If you have double-checked your credit card information and are still unable to add it as a payment method, I recommend reaching out to Azure support call customer service for further assistance. They will be able to investigate the issue specific to your account and provide guidance on how to resolve it.
