Paying from NZ with a US credit card

[axem]

I want to buy the upgrade to 9 and push for 798.
I live in NZ and my daughter in US.
To avoid the monstrous exchange rate visa would charge me to exchange NZ to US I thought I ask my daughter to pay for me with her card.
I called her on Skype and she passed me her credit card details. I entered them in https://www.ableton.com/en/checkout/payment/ and was refused
"The financial institution has declined the transaction. Please check the data you have entered."
We tried another card and we had the same result.
Ableton, Is there any way I can do this please?
Thanks for your prompt reply (she is waiting in a cafe in USA for me to let her know)

Yeh I'm in Australia, tried 2 different credit cards and got the same message, payment gateway must be down..

same from Hongkong

I really don't want to bitch, and capacity issues due to massive demand on launch day are kind of understandable (including sessions and downloads breaking down "in flight"), but payment gateways which don't act as payment gateways (at least for people outside of Germany) ?

probably tried 10 times over the course of 14 hours, called the local bank as well which haven't received any authorisation request regarding an Ableton purchase.

Lol... I can’t even get on to the website to try my credit card in order to be rejected...
