When your card doesn't go through
A topic people usually skip, and it's the first wall half the readers hit.
Almost every AI wants a foreign card. If yours doesn't go through, there are a few routes and all of them work.
A virtual card. The simplest path: issue a card, top it up, pay. We have a section with vetted services, and you can see there which take crypto and which take a normal transfer.
Through an exchanger. If you need to pay in crypto and don't have any - exchange, then pay.
Region. Some services care where you're connecting from. A VPN helps; there's a separate node on that further down.
From experience: don't grab the first card service you see in an ad. Half of them live six months and vanish with your balance. Look at the ones that have been around.
