I am not receiving any emails

If you are not receiving emails, then the best place to check is your spam/junk folder. Sometimes emails go to spam/junk and you need to mark them as safe so they are delivered to your inbox.

My card payment details are not working

The most common reason for card payment failures is an incorrect address. It's important to make sure your billing address is correct and matches your card.

Try another card as you may have a problem with your bank provider. If it persists contact your bank.
