@AskPS_UK Great thanks - let's hope so - at least PS Plus membership is reactivated now - thanks for your help

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK why am I getting an error message that I am unable to add funds to my account (butcher_heroes)? no explanation provided on the site

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK OK thanks that makes sense - if I've then transacted from the console will that unblock the account on the web as well?

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK OK - just tried on console, selecting option for auto renewal and the payment now went through fine - thanks for advice - still keen to know cause of problem on web if possible as I usually load payments for my children from there

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK No, only on website - would it make any difference? Will try now but I am guessing the problem is the same on both

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK On website, I select preferred credit card, then amount I want to load (maximum available amount), then, on next screen, I receive this message: "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later." Been happening since yesterday.

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK can you explain why I am unable to add funds to my account (butcher_heroes)?

[Neil Butcher @neilshel]

@AskPS_UK Using the web only currently - error is "Currently unable to add funds to your account. Please try again later." Started yesterday (maybe because I have to transact twice to load enough money to renew PS Plus membership?) and persisting today.

#oer12hf University arrogance to assume that open content isn't already driving a learning revolution just because they aren't leading it
