For Microsoft 365 for home, if the card on file has expired, update the payment method first, then retry the upgrade.

Go to Payment options and sign in with the Microsoft account tied to the subscription.
If the existing payment method shows an error, update it.
If the subscription is past due, go to Services & subscriptions, find the subscription, select Pay now, review the payment method, and then complete the payment.
If the card still isn’t accepted, verify that the payment details match exactly: card number, expiration date, name on the card, and billing address.
If the issue continues, contact the card issuer to confirm the card is active and can be used for the transaction.

For card-type support, the provided context only states that American Express cards aren’t currently supported in India in the referenced declined-card guidance. No broader Microsoft 365 home rule for AmEx support is provided here.

If the problem is specifically with replacing the card number on an existing Microsoft 365 business payment method, that card can’t be edited in place and must be replaced with a different payment method. The provided home-account guidance only confirms that payment information can be updated when the name, billing address, expiration date, or CVV has changed.

Hello, good day and thanks for your question. Sorry to know about this. If your card is up to date and you have also verified that it is working for other purchase that you made online, please check and try this on a different browser or by using inPrivate or Incognito browsing and another alternative is to link your card to PayPal and use it as payment method. Please see below for other things that you can also check with regards to this issue.

Enter your name precisely as it appears on the card and only include your middle initial if it appears on your card.
If this is a company card, enter the company name as both a first name and last name. For example, if the company name is "My Company" you may split the company name into the first and last name fields.
If the company only has one name, for example, "Company," enter the company name in both the first and last name fields.
If you are asked to enter the address and it exceeds the Address 1 field, use the Address 2 field and do not shorten or abbreviate your address.
The card number and type cannot be edited, so if you make a mistake, you'll need to add a new one with the correct information. Other credit card information can be edited, such as billing address and expiration date.
Other factors such as, card issuer fraud block, 3-D Secure/online payment restriction, family-card name mismatch, temporary authorization hold, or regional/payment-method limitations can also affect this.
