Hi,

My credit card expired, I entered the new credit card with updated expiry date and cvc code.

According to Mastercard, Fizz tested the new card three times (by requesting a zero amount) and I am still "being threatened" with service cut off.

How can this be resolved??

Thanks

Simon

    Hi @Simon D. 83681

    When you plan must be renewed? But as @Mamie said it seems a problem shared with some other users these days.

    Did you also try to make a payment?

    The steps to catch up and pay for your plan are the same whether your plan is at risk of being suspended or already suspended:

    Log into your account on fizz.ca

    Once connected, you should see a pop-up with your plan, explaining what you must do, and by when. *If you don’t see a pop-up, select the plan in question to see that same info. 

    Click on button “Proceed to payment” and follow the on-screen steps. You can pay with the same payment method or add a new one.

    Hi Simon, there is currently a technical difficulty for payment methods. The best thing is to contact customer service to open a dedicated ticket. Sign into your account then go to this page: https://fizz.ca/en/faq/resolving-issues

    and simply scroll down until you see the green bubble with a question mark, to your right, click on it and then another click. You can chat with support.

    Hi @Simon D. 83681

    Only to be sure, did you associated your credit card with your service? https://fizz.ca/en/faq/how-do-i-update-my-payment-method-or-credit-card-information

    To associate a card with a plan.

     

    Log into your Fizz account.

    Select the plan you wish to associate with a new card.

    Click on Manage plan > Payment method

    Select the payment method with which you’d like this plan to be associated with.

    Hi Jessy,

    Thanks for your suggestion.

    I have done what you suggested and deleted the expired card, unfortunately my card is still being denied.

    Any further guidance will be appreciated

    Thx

    In addition, I have spoken to Mastercard, FIzz has tested the new credit card and expiry date by pushing thru a ZERO amount.

    I hope they do not cancel my service

    Hi Jessy,

    I understand this is a community who provide guidance and not FIZZ directly.

    The Whatsapp number does not allow any communication.

    I did leave my request on the Chat mode - and they cannot help

    Unfortunately, I am stuck in the middle of nowhere.

    This is the main reason I do not like Fizz as I cannot talk to anyone.

    Just talking to myself -

    If they decide to cancel, no problem I will find a carrier with service.

    Thanks to all

    Simon

    @Simon D. 83681

    Hi Simon, is it possible for you these temporary solutions?

    1) try using another authorized credit or debit card

    2) ask wife/husband to lend you theirs for the next payment cycle

    3) use a family member's or very close friend's credit or debit card to help you out for the next payment cycle

    4) use the Koho prepaid Mastercard which is accepted by Fizz – this depends on the date of your next payment cycle as it takes about ten days to receive and use it. Here is the link; https://www.koho.ca/en/

    It is important to remember that your plan is renewed 72 hours before the anniversary date of the plan. Within this time, you will not be able to apply a new payment method.

    Hope your problem will be solved very soon.
