Fallout season 3 on Prime Video could premiere as early as May or June next year, according to actor Kyle MacLachlan in an interview with GamesRadar+. He said filming continues and the new season will move the action to Colorado. Amazon hasn't announced an exact premiere date yet, but if you plan to watch legally on day one, it's worth setting up your Prime Video subscription in advance — and a virtual card is often the easiest way to pay if your regular card gets declined.

Where to watch Fallout and what it costs

Fallout is an Amazon original, so the only legal way to watch it is on Prime Video. The subscription includes access to the series with no extra season fee. Actual pricing varies by country and changes over time, so check the current rate on the service's website when you sign up. It's usually a monthly subscription you can cancel anytime.

One important note: Prime Video is often bundled with Amazon Prime, and prices differ by region. Your account is tied to a country, and both the catalog and payment options depend on it. If you don't live in the US, European or US rates may not be available for your card.

Does Prime Video accept cards from foreign issuers?

Prime Video accepts Visa and Mastercard, including cards issued outside your account's country, but with caveats:

  • Account region — Amazon checks the country set in your account. If it doesn't match your card's country, the payment may fail.
  • AVS (Address Verification System) — Amazon matches the address and ZIP code in your account against the card's data. A mismatch leads to a decline.
  • 3-D Secure — for cards issued in the EU and some other countries, Amazon may request confirmation via your bank's app. Virtual cards without 3-D Secure don't always go through.

In practice: before paying, make sure the country and address in your Amazon account match your virtual card's details, and that 3-D Secure is enabled.

How to pay for the subscription with a virtual card: step by step

  1. Issue a virtual Visa or Mastercard in USD or EUR — the currency should match the subscription currency.
  2. Top up with a buffer: the subscription amount plus 10–20% for conversion and a possible pre-authorization hold.
  3. Go to Amazon settings → "Payment methods" and add the card, entering an address and ZIP that match the card's data.
  4. Sign up for Prime Video or Amazon Prime.
  5. Confirm the charge went through and the subscription is active under "Manage subscriptions".

Keep the subscription amount plus a buffer on the card: Amazon may charge a test amount or hold a small sum to verify the card. If the payment fails, try a different card currency or update the address in your account.

What to do if the payment is declined

  • Check that the country and address in your Amazon account match your card details.
  • Make sure there are enough funds, accounting for a possible pre-authorization hold.
  • Try a card in a different currency (USD or EUR).
  • As a fallback, buy an Amazon gift card for the right region and top up your account balance: the subscription will then be charged from the internal balance, not the card.

Amazon gift cards are tied to the account's region, so buy a card for the country where your account is registered.

Regional restrictions and access

The Prime Video catalog varies by country: Fallout is available in most regions where the service operates, but check the exact list on the Prime Video site for your country. If you're traveling, the catalog may differ from your home one. You need an account with an active subscription to watch — there's no separate season purchase.
