Another update in case anyone ever looks in. Down to about 200 in queue. So I tried a few more things 1) I tried to setup my bank account directly. However, that deposits a certain amount of money into your bank which won't come in for 3-5 working days which you then need to verify. So I am guessing this may work in the long run but not a quick solution 2) I tried adding paypal to my Gpay. Which worked and I thought this was going to be it. Surely I can now just select paypal on stadia on my pc on chrome? Nope... the pay pal option you add doesnt show in a browser, only the credit card (which keeps getting declined). So I googled how to pay with pay pal for stadia and the solution appears to be to use an android device, one issue though, I don't have any android devices, just IOS and PC. So I am back to waiting a few more hours to talk to to STADIA support. At least I can watch the boxing while I tick down the queue and hopefully in another 2-3 hours I am back to near number 1.

LOL - the support bombed me out and I restarted at number 468 again. This is up there with the funniest and worst things that's ever happened to be with a gaming service! To double check I got in touch with my bank and they can see the pre auth for the stadia subscription that has gone through fine on the card but they have not declined transactions on the card from stadia and they said the issue has to be with the retailer. So I know that stadia can see my credit card fine as its done a pre auth on it for the subscription at the end of the monthly trial. Its just when I try and buy a game it tells me that it cant complete the transaction and I get a log of declined payments in GPay under activity.

Thanks - I am down to position 3 so will see what support says. Its a mastercard and it has never had an issue on other services. If I try setup a new payment method on IOS it just opens a browser and it is same options. If support can't fix it I can see that I can add my bank details in as a payment method so I could try that.
