I think I found the solution to the problem! Go into your Apple ID settings and update your payment card to reflect the card that you are trying to make the payment with. Make sure all of the info is correct and matches identically. I also updated my shipping info to reflect that address associated with the same card. i did that after about 100 rejects to the payment authorization. Hope it works!!!
