Oracle Cloud: Sign up failed...

Yesterday i tried to sign up for oracle cloud:

 So let's start the registration process:


The mobile number verification is done with SMS and after entering the 7 digit pin, you are allowed to enter a password:

As payment information only credit cards are accepted:
  • VISA
  • Mastercard
  • Amex


Eve though my credit card was accepted:



"Your credit card has been successfully validated. Please proceed to complete the Sign up."
I got the following error:

"We're unable to process your transaction. Please contact Oracle Customer Service."
The link "Oracle Customer Service" did not work, so i used the Chat Support. But inside the chat was no agent available and only "Send E-Mail" worked. Let's see what kind of response i will be given...

EDIT: Some further attempts...

EDIT 2: see here how the problem was solved.

  1. What a worst signup process, they never allow any credit card, I tried by different credit cards that never used with them and was booking first time still issue, and moreover their support team is worst no one turns back while I put request!

    Now I understand why no one buyd Oracle cloud, Amazon, Azure and GCP are best! Oracle worst!

    1. MOST PATHETIC EXPERIENCE SIGNING INTO ORACLE CLOUD FREE TIER. THEY DON'T EVEN GIVE THE ERROR UNTIL YOU CLICK START MY FREE TRIAL. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!!

    2. Same issue in December 2022. This is pathetic. I tried 2 different credit cards to no avail. I have been a Sr. Oracle DBA and Application Developer for over 30 years. Everything Oracle attempts outside of the RDBMS and Oracle E-Business Suite turns to shit. OCI continues to be a joke.

  2. Looks like oracle announces free tier for everyone, and bans access to not use this benefit!

  12. I'm unable to signup too. Card validation passed, but it tells me to be sure the billing address matches the one my bank has on file for the card...

    Signup failed.

  13. We're unable to complete your sign up. Common sign up errors are due to: (a) Using prepaid cards. Oracle only accepts credit card and debit cards (b) Intentionally or unintentionally masking one's location or identity (c) Entering incomplete or inaccurate account details. Please try again if this applies to you. Otherwise, contact Oracle Customer Service.

  14. Still having this problem as of Oct 27, 2021. I tried clearing cookies and cache. Using two different networks, multiple email IDs and cards for payment and nothing works. This really is a trash tier experience for a multi-billion dollar company.
    Funny thing is, the amount got deducted from my card and reversed twice and yet it showed me on the signup page that the payment was declined.

  18. Oracle is intentionally nor giving access , internal employees confirmed this, as this don't have infrastructure to take load
