So, if you are living somewhere else and do not have a credit card issued in the United States, you will not be able to pay for your Instant Videos, no matter if you want to buy it or rent it, or if you want to watch it in HD quality or in SD quality. But, what can be done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have already written some instructions related to <a href=\"https:\/\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/american-card-required-to-pay-for-amazon-instant-videos\/\">paying for Instant Videos without an American Card<\/a>, but I will repeat myself in this article, since it is such a common problem that lots of people face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-570\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/01\/Purchase-error-buying-instant-movies.jpg?resize=688%2C323&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Purchase error buying instant movies\" class=\"wp-image-570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/01\/Purchase-error-buying-instant-movies.jpg?w=893&amp;ssl=1 893w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/01\/Purchase-error-buying-instant-movies.jpg?resize=300%2C141&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/01\/Purchase-error-buying-instant-movies.jpg?resize=768%2C360&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2016\/01\/Purchase-error-buying-instant-movies.jpg?resize=665%2C312&amp;ssl=1 665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><figcaption>Do you see a similar message?

The only payment method available on your account needs to be the Amazon Gift Card amount.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to use a method that is even more sure to work, get yourself a real American issued payment card and use that. You can read more about how it is done<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipaddressguide.org\/access-us-services-abroad-us-unlocked\/\"> in this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is really easy and it works perfectly. I recently used this myself to buy Instant Videos, so based on personal experience I can guarantee you that it works. Should you still have questions or comments, just use the comment field beneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information in general about watching Instant Videos from abroad, <a href=\"https:\/\/fromabroad.org\/amazonprime\/watch-amazon-instant-video-abroad\/\">read this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you get the following error message as you try to buy or rent movies on Amazon.com?
