Error 202 - Can't upgrade from trial acct

When filling in my cc-card details and clicking "Finish" the page reloads with an "Error 202" message saying
"Error 202: We were unable to process your request with the information provided. Please contact our Billing and Account Services team for assistance - (800-592-5499)."

What's this all about?

There's no problem with my cc I can assure you. I have the acc registered on the www.worldofwarcraft.com site despite being in Europe, incase that might have anything to do with it.

Reading other posts there was some hints at replacing the zip-code field with the last 4 digits on the cc card, but that didn't help either.

I'm not going to call the US for the privilege to play WoW...a pretty anti climactic ending to the whole trial account thing, lol.

Anyone know anything about this problem?

Sadly, we are unable to accept credit card payments made from Europe, my friend. Our billing system will only allow for purchases within our support region. Please review the following article for more information:

Payment Option - Credit Card
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20504

Specifically:

Q u o t e:
Any credit card used must be from within the supported North American region (the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand or Malaysia).

Any credit card with a billing address residing outside of this region will be rejected from our system, regardless of your current geographical location.


My apologies, Ashantia.
