Direct TV keeps rejecting payment

My wife updated her card payment with AT&T and Direct TV.   No problem with AT&T  According to our bank direct tv took the payment each time and sent it right back. This has happen 4 times. We have called 4 Times they don't know what to do. Our bank tell us the card is good. On 05-13-22 I tried with my card and it was rejected also

Hello, @Firefly123. We want to make sure you stay on top of your bills after updating your payment info.

Is it a debit or prepaid card? Has to be a credit card or paypal.

Tried several cards, credit and debit. Even got credit card company on the line to help. Direct TV  can't figure it out.

Like I said, you can't use debit cards. When you did a credit card---did Dtv send your card a temporary authorization for 30 dollars? They do that when you change cards on your account. I changed my card a few weeks ago and that's what happened.

Umm...okay, so per above, we tried several credit cards, too. The $30 hits and is immediately credited back. It's very strange. No one can seem to resolve. We spent the entire day trying and even went into the store for help.

Same here. It won't give me the option for Paypal, even though that is what I was previously using. I have tried several cards. You all need to fix your system ASAP. You are going to lose customers over this. It should not be this difficult to give you all money!

i am attempting to establish new service, and i've run into this exact issue.  the techs are clueless.  three cards-no luck.  the $30 goes through, but the charge for the sales tax generates an error.  I've confirmed with all the credit cards that there is no hold.  apparently direct tv has not resolved this issue. is there a known fix? spare me with the paypal crap which is not an option.
