Why was my payment declined?

If you were shown an error while we attempted to process your credit card, please double-check your payment information and try again.

Only your bank or credit card issuer can confirm the specific reason. Here are a few of the most common ones:

  1. Incorrect credit card number or expiration date
  2. Insufficient funds
  3. Some banks will reject charges based on location; online international payments should be enabled
  4. Some banks will reject charges based on their own fraud rules

Grammarly accepts the following payment methods: 

Credit card, PayPal, debit card (with the exception of Visa Electron debit cards, Mastercard Maestro, and Interac); you can use PayPal as an alternative to a credit card payment.
