User level: Level 1 (4 points)I tried to purchase item from US Apple Store online with my Apple account balance which is more than enough for this item
But my purchase was declined because of my Visa Card
How can I solve this?

You will need to add a verifiable and functional payment method to your Apple Account. If there's an issue with the current payment method on your account it will not charge your account balance until the payment method issue has been resolved.
Once the issue is resolved, you can remove the payment method and it will default to account balance for all future purchases and not require the other payment method.
