Just to confirm, the problem does seem to be tied to Australian MasterCards (don't know about Australian Visa cards). I thought I'd test this. I happen to have a US$ Visa Card - issued by a UK bank (long story...) I just successfully signed up using this US$ Visa card - other than the card

Hi Adrian, Thanks for that feedback - maybe the problem is only Mastercard (I didn't have an Australian Visa card to try!). Also, the Whirlpool poster seemed to suggest the problem was only with signing up for a trial account - not sure what difference that would make? Cheers Neil -- Neil

Hi, I had a problem with renewing using a Mastercard. Fortunately had a visa card which worked. So it's not just signing up for a trial. Cheers, Susan Sent from my iPad On 22/08/2010, at 7:13 PM, Neil Houghton n...@possumology.com wrote: Hi Adrian, Thanks for that feedback - maybe the

Hi Neil, I don't think this is anything new, or unusual. Like Adrian and Susan I've been renewing with a Visa card for years but unable to use my Mastercard. I find this happens a lot ... Visa Card accepted, Mastercard not accepted. Sent from Ronni's iPad On 22/08/2010, at 7:51 PM, Susan

I'm sorry people, please disregard my previous email as it is incorrect in my case. I just checked my MobileMe Account details and find I originally used my Mastercard for renewing and then changed my account details to renew using my AMEX card. I have never experienced any problem with either

Hi, Thanks for the feedback Susan. I'm surprised there isn't more coverage about this - the Whirlpool comment (not even the subject of the thread) was the only thing my Googling threw up. Maybe not that many Aussies use Mastercard - or maybe they just buy their MobileMe from the Applestore or

I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but I just tried to sign up for the 60 day mobile me trial. I finally get a useful username that's not taken, fill-in the first page and get to page 2 where you provide your credit card details. The first time I submit it it tells me your credit
