I think your issue is not with the payment profiles but with the JSON itself. You have an invalid element in there and I think it is this line:
"_xmlns": "AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd"
Otherwise your request looks fine as I was able to create multiple payment profiles using similar JSON. The only difference between the two was my JSON didn't have that line.
Request JSON:
{
"createCustomerProfileRequest": {
"merchantAuthentication": {
"name": "xxxxxxxx",
"transactionKey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
},
"profile": {
"merchantCustomerId": "52353345",
"email": "user#example.com",
"paymentProfiles": [
{
"customerType": "individual",
"billTo": {
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Smith",
"address": "12345 Main Street",
"city": "Townsville",
"state": "NJ",
"zip": "12345",
"phoneNumber": "800-555-1234"
},
"payment": {
"creditCard": {
"cardNumber": "5555555555554444",
"expirationDate": "2023-08"
}
}
},
