Can I get a refund to my VCC from Pinterest Ads?

Yes, Pinterest Ads can issue refunds, but only under specific conditions. If you used a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) for payment, getting a refund depends on Pinterest's policies, your VCC provider, and transaction status.

Here's how Pinterest refunds work and what you need to do if you want your money back.

🔹 When Does Pinterest Ads Issue Refunds?
Pinterest only processes refunds in these situations:

✅ Overpayment or Duplicate Charges – If Pinterest charged your VCC multiple times for the same amount.
✅ Ad Campaign Not Delivered – If your campaign never started or didn't run as expected.
✅ Billing Error or Unauthorized Charge – If Pinterest charged you incorrectly or without authorization.
✅ Account Suspension (With Remaining Balance) – If Pinterest bans or suspends your account and you have unused ad credits.

🚨 Pinterest does NOT issue refunds for:
❌ Ads that have already run and used the budget.
❌ If you simply change your mind after funding the account.
❌ If the VCC provider does not support refunds.

🔹 How to Request a Refund from Pinterest Ads
1️⃣ Go to Pinterest Ads Manager → https://ads.pinterest.com/
2️⃣ Click Settings (⚙) > Billing.
3️⃣ Find the transaction in question and check if it's refundable.
4️⃣ If eligible, click "Request a Refund" (if available).
5️⃣ If no option appears, contact Pinterest Ads Support:

Go to Pinterest Help Center
Choose "Billing & Payments" → "Request a Refund"
Submit details (reason, amount, transaction ID, payment method).
6️⃣ Wait for Pinterest to review & approve the refund (usually 5–10 business days).
🔹 What Happens If Pinterest Refunds to a VCC?
✔ If Your VCC is Still Active:

The refund goes back to your VCC balance as a credit.
You can reuse the funds for another purchase or withdrawal (if allowed).
❌ If Your VCC is Closed or Expired:

The refund may be rejected or lost (depending on the provider).
You may need to contact your VCC provider to reclaim funds.
💡 Pro Tip: If you expect a refund, use a reloadable VCC from ExoCards (https://exocards.com) to avoid losing funds on disposable VCCs.
