Its because for whatever reason the guild wars 2 site has been flagged by some major credit and debt card companies as a untrusted site,
What thieves do when they steal your credit card is that they go online to these 3rd party untrusted sites (eg. "tony's electronics online warehouse") that are usually run overseas and have very low (if non-existent) security and they put in the stolen credit card numbers and buy whatever they want. Since the credit card company usuaully has to pay these charges, they flag the websites and refuse to accept payment for them. For whatever reason, the guild wars website has been flagged to,
I know because when I called my credit card company and checked my on-line statement it said that numerous charges from the guild wars site attempted to be processed and were cancelled (yep! every time you put in your info and hit accept the info goes to your credit card and is declined by them! - I had about 12 attempts and 12 declines which caused B of A to cancel my card and issue me a new one)
Ok, so that the story... its not you, its GW2... it doesnt matter what info you put in (eg. use capital letters or different numbers) if your credit or debt card wont accept from that site it wont go through,
If you really want the game go to the best buy online store and buy the game, you can still download it right away and be ready for day 1,
