Why doesn't my credit card show up on the checkout screen?

Credit cards created with your web account require a billing address. Your credit card may not appear on the checkout screen if the address associated with the credit card has been deleted.

For security reasons, the credit card must be deleted and recreated. If there are no addresses available for choosing, a new address must be created before recreating your credit card. A new address may be created on the "Manage your addresses" screen, available under "My Account."

What's the difference between "Method On File" and web account information?

"Method On File" is a term used to reference the current information in your Matthews Book Company account file.

Addresses, emails, and credit cards created with your web account are for online ordering only.
