RM not accepting Visa anymore!? What the actual f$ck?

It's weird because I'm not given those options.  When I click to become a premium member, it goes to a page with two columns - one for free membership and one for premium.  Each column shows what is included with each package.  When I click premium, it goes to a new page with a section for Payment Methods (Credit Card or Crypto) and Payment Options (monthly renewal, 3-month fixed, 6-month fixed).  No matter which of the payment options I choose, it then goes to a screen with my Visa or MC gift card information and a Pay Now button.  When I hit that, a message pops up that the payment is declined.  Now because I have tried multiple times it says 'you can no longer use this card'.  I don't think I'm going to go and purchase a third $100 card to give it another try at this point.  It's become a bit ridiculous.   

Are you already a member? Sign up for a free membership and once you are on your page I click in the upper right corner the three lines, then dashboard, then the red get premium box, then upgrade.

Thanks - I'll try it.  I wonder if there is a difference because I live in the frozen north... lol

Also I'm using rent.men when viewing the site.

I gave it a shot, but when I click on the red get premium box, it goes to a screen with a box that is for payment method.  One is Credit Card, and the other is Crypto.  I choose Credit Card and a new box comes up that gives me three membership durations: Monthly renewed, 3-month, and 6-month.  I choose 3-month or 6-month and then a new box comes up with Order Preview.  That shows my card info and asks if I want an invoice (I don't) or have a promo code (I don't).  Then I hit the 'Pay Now' red button and it tells me to use a different card.  I've tried a MC gift card, a Visa gift card, and MC debit card.  Nothing works unfortunately.

I am using that one too.  And the .eu site has slightly different screens, but the same end result.  Thanks for your help.

Ok yes you need the middle option as shown below on my screen. It wasn't showing me the middle option the one day so try it again another day.

Thanks! That's good to know that it can change from day to day.  That is exactly the screen that allowed me to upgrade the RentMasseur membership after I had given up months earlier because it wasn't accepting payment.  I now have the resolve to get another gift card and wait patiently to use it, instead of trying multiple times on screens that don't give that option you've shown.  Thanks again!

Choosing the one time charge allows you to use visa still on rentmen but does anyone know how to do it on rentmasseur? You would think it would be the same since they similar websites but maybe im missing something can anyone help

It's funny - the one time charge option came up on RMasseur and I was able to upgrade the membership, but it will not come up on Rmen.  I've tried a dozen times in the last week, but no luck with either the .eu or regular versions.

Have I read this correctly, that RM only accepts MasterCard and Bitcoin for premium memberships?

[Yukon21]

Yes.  They limited pmt options many months ago. Its the reason I didnt renew.  I think it was discussed here.  Try the search feature for more info.  

[Fridolf]

My premium subscription just expired, so only am noticing now …

[Rob Toronto]

A few years ago I got a premium membership at Rent Masseur.  Then, I think it was within a month,  I had fraudulent purchases on my credit card.  Changed cards and got it all the money credited back from the theft.   I am pretty sure it was from Rent Masseur.

I renewed my RM membership recently and was surprised to see they now accept ApplePay. It worked for me, on the first try. No issues.

[johnwhatelse]

I find RM so fucked up, it is despair.

[Jack Vernon]

My membership just expired so I'm only now realizing this.  MasterCard?  WTF??

You can use visa if you choose one time payment.

Thank you!  I didn't even try that until you suggested it - they even take ApplePay now.

I just tried paying the monthly fee for a provider’s profile on RM. Never had trouble using my card before. Today…they asked for identification verification. Yes—I’m using Mastercard. The hurdles are ridiculous.

Has anyone else had to submit identity verification to pay? It seems they want to move to crypto payments. 

[BuffaloKyle]

They don't ask if you use the one time payment option.

[mtaabq]

They asked me for identification verification the 1st time - that was a couple years ago - and I used M/C as well. Seemed a bit much to me at the time, but I submitted to the request. Haven’t had an issue since.

I contacted the webmaster and said I thought it unnecessary. Also did this as the verification:
