As I mentioned before, the only solution for this issue is-unfortunately-the wire transfer, it worked for me. Apple support gave me thier bank account details after a bunch of useless e-mails. They know quiet well that there is a glopal issue and that hundreds of people is claiming the enrollment issue but i don't know why they are in denial.Ask them direct to forward the Bank account details for Apple, go to your bank and make the transfer, send Apple support the reciept you recieved after transaction, and they will activate the account.

I escalated the issue to Apple support from the developer account help and although they know it is a glopal claim but they also asked me same procedure " gaining as much time as they can" to create another account and use another credit cards "collecting all my financial data as an intelligent spammer" till nothing works, then the magical solution came to thier mind to send them the wire transfer ammount. And what is really convincing that they offered a real data for Apple Bank account "looks like real". I actually followed thier instructions and sent them the money by wire transfer a few hours before I am writing this and forwarded them the bank reciept. Untill now nothing happened, I am only waiting for them to reply that they are proceeding with the enrollment.So if it is a fraud I'll know and tell youUPDATE::: I confirm now that Apple activated my account according to wire transfer

Apple is studying and responsd case by case. They are not able to resolve the card payment issue for the moment!!!!!The only solution they offer is to wire transfer the ammount and send them the reciept via email, then they will proceed with the account enrollment.I'll try to pay them as advised and will get back with updates as soon as it happens

I’ve started my trials to pay for Apple developer account since January 20 till now 21 st of February still not succeeded. But after so many emails to apple support they sent me their bank details for a wire transfer as the only solution that have and they told me that other developers also with same issue did that. Wire transfer will take time, money 150$ and permission from my bank institution here in Egypt , if only they accept this transaction. I don’t know why Apple haven’t try to solve this issue, and for my surprise when I read this thread that the issue started back in November 19 !!! What a shame for Apple or I guess they want to control the number of accounts made for nothing. Anyway I’ll try this wire transfer and see. They might offer sending them via PayPal or if they are helpless they might google it;)
