Can't register/subscribe

Lackadaisical
Hello, I preordered the game from amazon but when I try to register the code that comes with it I get the following message (on the credit card info page):

The transaction was not authorized. Please check the provided information again or contact support at http://help.elderscrollsonline.com.

Which I did. Many times. I also made other purchases today to make sure the card was worked correctly, which went through fine, and triple checked to make sure I was entering the registration code correctly. The error message doesn't really provide any information about why it was not authorized, so I don't know what the problem is. Any advice as to how I can register would be appreciated.

    I'm having the same issue... Guess they don't like taking our money.

    They are trying to bill me in euros and I think that may be the problem because I live in Iowa

    Glad to see it's not just me. I phoned my bank to see if the fraud department is blocking transactions, and they're not even seeing anything attempt to authorize. Looks like ZOS card system is screwed. Great stuff. I can't even play my "free" included 30 days now.

    Getting the same issue with my Visa. This is on top of the 1 1/2 hour wait to even log into my account, and then the attempt to make me pay in Euros despite being in New Zealand.

    Polished launch, my arse.

    Did you do anything different to get through, eruexe? I keep trying but I'm still having this problem. Trying to pay with a mastercard debit card BTW

    We are aware that many customers are experiencing a queue when going to the account system to set up their subscription - and are currently working on expediting this.

    - This is all the explanation I'm getting , it doesn't even show where I could put my cc info to subscribe . I never had this problem when I subbed in other MMO's .

    On the bright side my early access time hasn't run out yet, apparently, so I can still play...

    Well, that's interesting. I'm not getting a queue on account management - I haven't yet set up a subs, but I see that I have 30 days remaining. And I can log in to the game. Maybe they've done away with the subs requirement to access the included time?

    Well scratch that idea, suddenly I'm getting invalid credentials again.

    Still not working for me.

  • Lackadaisical
    Alright, I guess my early access ran out 'cause I can't log in anymore... this is preventing me from playing the game I payed for.

    Same here- and same issue discussed on the FB site. Anyone that bought from an outside retailer is locked out until they...you know....actually allow people to give them money. Fail. Seriously....if you are going to do ONE thing right when selling a product...it should be to make sure you can accept payments. This is ridiculous.
    ...13 toons. I promise..I won't make more....ok I may have an alt problem.
    FOR THE PACT!
