Topic: PLEASE HELP!!

Pls can anyone help me? Im from uk and i opened a usa account to get binding of isaac...but...when i press purchase and enter my card details it asks me to also put in a zip code!? So i used one on the internet and it still does not work??! It keeps asking me to verify information??
Im from the uk so i naturally my bank details are synced to me home address deatils in the uk not the usa! So how do i get past this problem? Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!

It wants to know your zip code to know in which state you live so it can calculate the tax.

Since you don't actually live in the US, then your best course of action would be asking a relative or friend who does to "lend" you their address.

You should google tax free zip codes. Some states are tax exempt. Or search for a US military zip code.

Yep, I had the same issue when trying to purchase BOI. Even when using a tax free US zip code, for some reason whenever I tried to proceed to purchase the game after entering all the details the page would refresh and reset all my details, tried several attempts but it kept clearing the entered info. Had to purchase Nintendo US eshop codes from amazon.com using my Mastercard but I had to use a valid US address as my default address on amazon. There's other sites you can purchase US eshop codes but amazon is trustworthy and almost instantly.

@Honelith omg dude thankyou this is exactly wats happening! So i can buy digital copy is that wat u mean?
Man thanks for the quick reply you guys

@Honelith also sorry to ask but where did u get a valod home address for usa?

Google is your friend

Here's an address you can use

700 N Adams St, Tallahassee, FL 32303

Rick won't mind, he's a great guy.

@AlexSays haha thanx dude but when i put my card details in its asks me for zip code and still wont work keeps saying verify details again.
Guess im stuck with waiting
But gotta say all u guys and gals on the Nintendo life forum are the most helpful on any gaming forum ive been on so appreciated!

It wouldn't let me add my card on the Switch either. I already added one but wanted to add a new one and it kept saying I had to verify info. I went on my phone to Nintendo site and signed in there and it let me add it and buy a game on the site and it carried over to the Switch.

@DLAROC ok really?! Brilliant i will try that thanks

@DLAROC It still wont work in teh website it still says the same thing :C pls help guys

When a retailer requests a Zip Code when using a credit card in the US it (usually) is to verify that you are the cardholder. It checks to see if the Zip Code you enter matches with the card number you entered.

Since your card's address does not match the Zip Code you are entering, it will not work.

You have to buy a U.S. Nintendo points card. PlayAsia has them. ...

This, I think is the answer. Though, don't take my word for it, I don't own a Switch. I took the liberty of changing a small grammatical error too.

@DLAROC I've bought all my games from the US Eshop with Ecash purchased on Amazon. I'll tell you how to get around the address part but you'll need to wait till later today until I'm back home.

Edit, I didn't realise this was a old thread

@SLIGEACH_EIRE PlayAsia is a singular entity, so it takes a singular verb, has. You just erroneously changed an editor in chief's copy. All is forgiven.
