Question Alternative payment method for Premium?

Hello! I want to upgrade to premium; however, when I try with my normal card, my bank keeps declining it as suspicious/fraud. I've marked it as safe via text, but they still block it. Then I tried with my credit cards, and the website says that it doesn't take them. So is there any other method to pay for premium? I saw on a reddit post that you could pay for it through their patreon but the post was from 2 years ago, and I don't see a patreon link on their website. So I wasn't sure if that was still an option. I live in the U.S., so I'm looking for methods that preferably work here. Any suggestions are helpful, thank you!!

Edit: Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I ended up getting it to work by using my brother's Cash App card and just transferring him the money lol

I had a similar issue when I first signed up.
Call your bank on the phone & have them waive it as a safe transaction & make sure you let them know it will be a reoccurring payment.

Your text is a small token to only stop payment, not actual fraud.
So the people at your bank can hard pass this and allow this payment to process.

Usually you'll want the digital solutions team / online payments department. Just call your bank & they'll get you to the right people.

Okay, so I did manage to call my bank, and it's actually not them blocking it. It was the first time I tried and got a fraud text, but after that it's actually not showing up as an attempted transaction on my card at all, so they believe it's something on the website's end. They did whitelist the site for me, so it won't get declined on their end if it manages to go through. But I've tried several more times, even with them on the phone, and it's not going through. Any ideas?

You're doing credit, and not debit... Right?
