How can I prevent Facebook Ads from automatically charging my card?

If you want to stop Facebook Ads from automatically charging your card, follow these steps:

1. Set an Account Spending Limit (Best Option)
This ensures that Facebook stops charging your card once the limit is reached.

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Payment Settings
🔹 Click Set Account Spending Limit
🔹 Enter a low limit (e.g., $10 or your preferred amount)

📌 Tip: If needed, you can reset the limit later.

2. Remove Your Payment Method (If Possible)
✔ Facebook requires at least one active payment method, so you must add a new one before removing your primary card.

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Payment Settings → Add Payment Method
🔹 After adding a new method, click Remove next to your current card.

🚨 Note: If Facebook won't let you remove it, it means you have an outstanding balance. You must pay it before removing your card.

3. Use a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) for Controlled Spending
✔ A VCC from https://exocards.com lets you load only the amount you want to spend.
✔ Once the balance reaches $0, Facebook cannot charge more.
✔ This is the best way to prevent unwanted auto-charges.

4. Pause or Delete All Active Ad Campaigns
✔ If ads are running, Facebook will continue to charge your card.
✔ To stop all ad spending:

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Campaigns
🔹 Select all active ads and click Pause or Delete

📌 This prevents future charges but does not remove past charges.

5. Switch to Manual Payments (If Available)
✔ Some accounts allow manual payments instead of automatic billing.

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Payment Settings
🔹 If available, switch to manual payments

📌 Not all countries have this option.

6. Contact Facebook Support for Billing Issues
✔ If you still face unwanted charges, reach out to Facebook Ads Support:

🔹 Visit https://www.facebook.com/business/help
🔹 Click Billing & Payments → Report a Billing Issue

Final Answer:
📌 To prevent automatic charges, set a spending limit, remove your payment method, or use a VCC from https://exocards.com to limit ad spending. If you still get charged, contact Facebook Support at https://www.facebook.com/business/help.
