Free Tier: card verification passes, account creation fails — 4 attempts, Incident 261104-000881

Hello,

I live in Spain and have been trying to create my first Oracle Cloud Free Tier account since 31 October 2026. I still have no Oracle Cloud account at all.

What happens every time:

• I complete the signup form and the payment card verification. The authorization hold is approved and later refunded.
• At the final step the signup fails with the generic message "Sorry, an error occurred while creating your account", followed by the standard a/b/c list.
• No tenancy is created.

Attempts so far (all made by me personally, with my own details; cards issued to me or my spouse):
