New credit card information cannot be updated in Edit window

0

My AWS default payment is configured with a credit card that expired in April 2026. I have a new credit card with the same number and a new expiration date and different CVV. When trying to edit the payment information, the edit window allows me to update the expiration date but not the CVV. I cannot add a new payment using the same credit card number, and I cannot delete the existing one since it is my default payment. And I cannot edit the default card with the new CVV. My payments are due and my account is being restricted. I have a case ID open with support for over a month with no traction or resolution other than the standard box answers about how to update my payments which do not address my issue. I only have one business credit card so what other options do I have?

I understand this is a frustrating situation with your payment method update. While I don't have specific sources addressing this exact scenario in my available information, here are some options you should explore:

First, try using a different browser or clearing your browser cache and cookies, as sometimes technical issues with the payment update interface can be browser-related.

Second, consider temporarily adding an alternative payment method (such as a personal credit card, debit card, or bank account via direct debit) just to resolve the immediate payment issue and prevent further account restrictions. Once added, you can set this as your default payment method, which should then allow you to delete the expired card. After that, you can re-add your business credit card with the updated CVV and expiration date, then switch back to using it as your default.

Third, since you have an open support case, escalate it by requesting to speak with a supervisor or asking for the case to be escalated to the billing team specifically. You can also try reaching out through the AWS Support Center chat or phone support for more immediate assistance, as this is affecting your account access.

If you're unable to add any temporary payment method and your support case isn't progressing, you might also try contacting AWS through their social media support channels or the AWS forums, as sometimes alternative channels can help expedite resolution of urgent billing issues.

The key is to break the cycle by temporarily using another payment method to unlock the ability to manage your payment methods properly.
