How does one subscribe to Amazon Germany. My credit card doesn't work. How do others get it to work.

I think there is no german credit card or bank account
without a german personal document.
This is the case in most European countries because

Channels can only used with a local payment method

I don't know which channel you need ..
.. but perhaps you can use a PayPal account (with a German address)
directly with the desired provider (without using amazon)
