If your card isn’t going through, check the table above:

• If your card’s home currency is supported, try switching to that currency.
• If the currency you’re viewing Busbud in isn’t supported for your card network, try switching to a currency that supports your card network.
• Alternatively, try using a different card from a supported network.

You can also use PayPal as an alternative to pay in USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, EUR, ARS, PEN, MXN, CZK, SEK, or PLN. You do not need a PayPal account, you can enter your card info directly via PayPal.

Other payment methods

Debit cards: we only accept debit cards that bear the logos above (Visa, Mastercard, etc).

• Select Maestro cards will work.
• Visa and Mastercard debit cards work more of the time than credit cards, due to lower fraud risk.

Bank transfers: we do not accept bank transfers.

• Many customers are able to use a PayPal account loaded with funds transferred from their bank.

Cash: we do not accept cash.

• In the United States and some other countries, 'disposable' prepaid Visa and Mastercard cards are sold at most major retail stores. You may buy one of these with cash and use the card on Busbud.

Prepaid cards: we accept prepaid cards with the logos above (Visa, Mastercard, etc).
