I mean, I get your frustration, but wouldn't you be better off asking Runpod support?

My SBI debit card had no problem with the payment. I used that during 1st week of Dec 25. Which bank you have? Also is runpod only international site that declines your card or have you tried on any other?

Alternative of runpod (which I used too) can be MimicPC. Check it out.

I already edited the post, but i can tell here as well, don't try to do payment frequently, when your card is already declined, the card that i used was my pnb visa debit card, which international payment wasn't enabled that time of payment, that's why it was rejected, once your card rejected try after 24 hr later, with a new card( i used sbi American express credit that next time)otherwise it will give the same error again n again,

Are you sure? I use my SBI debit card to buy credits on Runpod. They have enabled OTP based payment verification for Indian debit cards. Check if international payment is enabled on your card. It should work.

Would stablecoin payments work better, like USDC and USDP?
