AMS Billing error - Advise me please!

Just got this fun email from Amazon and need to know how I can bring back my ads to life again in the next 24 hours (preferably).

Dear Advertiser,

Unfortunately, we have been unable to charge the default payment method on [Name]'s Account's account for an outstanding balance of $[balance]. As a result, all active campaigns have been paused. Please click here to update your settings.

You can also log in to Amazon Marketing Services directly at https://ams.amazon.com and click on the 'Payment Method Settings' option found in the drop-down menu for Name]'s Account's account.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for advertising at Amazon.

* My card doesn't expire for another year or so.
* The card is far from maxed out.
* Card was charged at least 8 times successfully in the past by AMS.

I can't change payment methods because that's the only card I have.

From AMS Dashboard

Important Message
All failed payments will be retried
Advertising Payment Failure
We were unable to successfully charge you for an outstanding balance in your account. At this time your ads are no longer being shown on Amazon and will not be shown until this problem is corrected. You may need to:

Switch to a different payment method
Choose an alternate credit card from your account
Enter a new card
Contact your bank about your card

When a payment method is changed, failed payments will automatically be retried. The retrial may take up to 72 hours. This message will disappear once the payment is successful.

Any advice on how to get my ads up and running again? I just clicked the card that they failed to charge and clicked "Set as current payment method". Than it gave me this message.

Thank you for your payment. Your payment method has been changed.

Credit or Debit card
has been set as the new payment method. Any unpaid charges would be added to the next statement as an adjustment.

What to do?
