unable to pay for wifi when on club site

We have been trying to pay for club wifi over the past few days and on two different sites.

Every time we try, the message of not being able to verify our CVC is returned, even on different cards.

Having phoned the helpline they have given us a couple of free 24 hour access periods (so the wifi does work!) after suggesting it might be the bank's problem.

I an guessing that the problem may be due to my CVC being saved on Google pay which I am asked to enter after putting in my card details.  However, as I don't yet have wifi the CVC cannot be verified.  So, I have now removed a couple of cards from Google pay, using my free 24 hours, but will have to wait until this runs out to see if I can directly enter a CVC onto the portal without the Google pay link being triggered.

If I am correct then I will post again, but why does the wifi provider not understand that this might be an issue?

And why can't I just pay for longer whilst I am logged on?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Club wifi is a waste of time, effort and money. Why is it so many commercial sites can offer wifi that is better/faster and free? I use my mobile phone or wifi dongle and happily steam when and just about wherever we are.
