When I attempt to purchase premium content, I receive an “Address Mismatch” or “ZIP Code Mismatch” error message. What does this mean?
U.S.News & World Report uses AVS (Address Verification Service), a Verisign service, to minimize fraudulent internet transactions. AVS requires that street address (and ZIP code for U.S. cardholders) exactly match the address information on file with the cardholder’s bank. Not all internet vendors use AVS, so the same credit card may work on other sites with differing street and ZIP code information. If you are having difficulty purchasing from U.S.News, please verify the exact address on file with the card-issuing bank.
