iCloud+ 50 GB subscription upgrade fails with valid payment method

My iCloud storage is full and I am currently not able to make or receive emails from my iCloud Mail. This is causing a lot of issues. I am simply trying to upgrade to the .99/month 50 GB plan and it’s not accepting my payment method on file in wallet. Same payment method that is used successfully everywhere else. There are sufficient funds on the card. Is this a common problem? How should I address the problem as I called Apple Support and they could not find an issue and suggested I had to upgrade myself, as they wouldn’t do over the phone. How would I go about getting the payment successful while keeping the same payment method?

Contact your financial institution and ask why your payment won't go through.
