Fixes for Prime Video Error “There was an error validating your payment method”

Fix 1: Make Sure Your Account/Card Has Funds

Ensure that your card has enough funds to complete the Prime Video authorization process when signing up.

When you sign up for Amazon Prime, you are required to complete the payment authorization process, which includes providing valid payment details and having 2-3$ deducted from your account (which will later be refunded).

Make sure you have at least 3-4$ in your account/card to complete the authorization process, or this error will likely occur.

Fix 2: Make Sure You’re Not Copying and Pasting Details

When you copy and paste your payment/card details into Prime Video, Amazon may detect it as a security threat and display a payment error.

Make sure you’re not copying and pasting your payment/card details. If you are, manually enter the payment/card details into Prime Video to see if it fixes the error.

Fix 3: Delete All Saved Cards

Many users have reported payment issues on Amazon when using saved cards.

Therefore, we recommend deleting all saved cards and re-adding the one you want to use to complete the payment.

You can see the screenshot below, where one user has reported that this helped him/her fix the error.

Fix 4: Use a Different Payment/Card Method

Try using another payment/card to see if it resolves the issue.
