Just use a prepaid option.
I am currently doing that.

I tried to subscribe today and got the error saying Monthly Billing is not available in my debit card. I tried using 3 different cards one of which I've used for Apple Music. Please give me a solution!

I would suggest to use a prepaid option
rather than a monthly billing.
I paid for a year in one shot to avoid the headache
of monthly payments.

I tried to get the student plan

Hey folks, 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community.

Keep in mind that even if you've already used the card to pay for a different service, it's necessary to make sure that it meets these requirements so that you don't encounter any issues when subscribing.

If you're unsure about your card meeting any of these requirements, you can reach out to your bank for further info. 

Lastly, if everything is in order and you're still having issues, you can contact our Support team here and they'll be happy to take a deeper look at what might be causing the issue. 

Hope this info was helpful. 

Have a good one 🙂
