Contact Microsoft Support via Live Chat
Since this issue is often caused by a known backend bug in the Microsoft payment dialog, reaching out to Microsoft Billing Support is the most reliable way to resolve it.
In many cases, the payment interface fails to register the update due to an internal glitch on Microsoft's end. A live support agent has the tools to securely override or fix the payment dialog bug.
Go to the official Microsoft Support contact page in your web browser.
Choose 'Microsoft 365' from the list of products or services you need help with.
Select 'Billing' or 'Payment' as the category for your support request.
Click the option to start a live chat with a support agent and explain that your updated credit card expiration date and CVC are not saving despite showing no error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Microsoft 365 not accepting my valid credit card?
This can happen due to a glitch in the payment dialog, conflicting browser cache, or if the billing address entered does not exactly match the card issuer's records. Often, contacting Microsoft billing support is required to clear the error.
Can I manage Microsoft 365 billing directly from the Word or Excel app?
No, subscription management and payment detail updates must be done through a web browser by navigating to your official Microsoft Account dashboard at office.com/myaccount.
What should I do if the Microsoft payment page shows a blank screen or loops indefinitely?
Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or open the billing portal in a private browsing (Incognito) window. This helps bypass any browser extensions or outdated data that might be breaking the payment script.
