Acceptable methods of payment differ depending on where you live.

Check here to see if you have any acceptable alternative: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Local_Payments_FAQ

If there is nothing there that you can use, you could try one of the other approved exchanges which accept things that Lindex doe not: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/L$_Marketplace

According LL The most common reasons for credit card failure are usually from one of these things:

• The credit card number was entered incorrectly.
• The billing address wasn't entered, or was entered incorrectly. It should be the same address on your bill.
• The name on the card was not entered, or wasn't entered as it's printed on the card.
• The credit card isn't in the list of accepted payment methods (we currently accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Discover, or PayPal)
• The CVV (3 digits on the back or 4 digits on the front for AmEx) wasn't entered, or was entered incorrectly.
• The card is expired, or the expiration date was entered incorrectly.
• There are no funds available on the credit card to validate it. We send a US$1.00 authorization to ensure that a credit card is valid. While this isn't a billing, the card must have at least US$1.00 available on it to pass validation.
• Your monthly payment limit is reached, and/or your bank isn't authorizing any more transactions
• The issuing bank hasn't pre-approved transactions with Linden Research, Inc. You should be able to get these approved by contacting the issuing bank.
• If you're outside the US, your card may not be set up for international/overseas transactions (very common with Visa Electron).

If none of these apply to you, contact your credit card provider to determine the cause.

You can also call our billing team directly, using the phone numbers on the Billing Support page.

I am assuming that your are using a Greendot Prepaid Visa card or something similar.

Sometimes, even though the card may be accepted, Greendot security prevents you from purchasing anything that may be used as online gambling. Check here for more info on prepaid cards

@ Ariel most of the other approved exchanges do accept them so you could try one of those instead https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Linden_Dollar_Marketplace
