Try a debit card, otherwise there’s no real way to get this fixed.

US airlines and companies do not look past their own borders/financial systems in terms of testing. A complaint will get you a generic “sorry and we’ll try and do better next time but we love our customers” email.

If you don’t have something like a Wise account that allows multi currency I would recommend them. You can get a virtual debit card in the app (or pay £4.5 for a physical one), transfer enough GBP onto it to cover your USD requirement and then try that virtual debit card.
I’ve found it helps when you can pay a US company in USD. There’s fewer hoops to jump through.
