Can I pause or deactivate a VCC used for Twitter advertising?

SeoGuru

Yes, you can pause or deactivate a VCC (Virtual Credit Card) used for Twitter advertising, but there are a few important details to keep in mind to ensure your account stays in good standing.

1. Pausing Your VCC (Temporarily)
If you want to temporarily stop transactions on your VCC without permanently deleting it, you can pause the card. This can be useful if you're not ready to fully deactivate the card but want to prevent new charges from going through.

How to Pause the VCC:

Log in to your VCC provider's app (e.g., Wise, Revolut, Privacy.com).

Look for a "Pause" or "Freeze" option in the card settings.

Pausing prevents new transactions, but you can reactivate it later.

Important Note: Pausing the VCC may not immediately stop any pending transactions. If you have active campaigns or a billing threshold close to being reached, you may still see charges go through.

2. Deactivating or Deleting Your VCC (Permanently)
If you no longer want to use the VCC and wish to permanently deactivate it, you can delete or revoke it. This will prevent any further charges from occurring on that card.

How to Deactivate the VCC:

Go to your VCC provider's app or dashboard.

Find the option to delete or revoke the card.

Note: Deleting the card will stop all transactions, so ensure you update your payment information in Twitter Ads first.

💡 What Happens to Twitter Ads When You Pause or Deactivate the VCC?
If the VCC is paused or deactivated:

Future payments to Twitter Ads will fail.

Your ad campaigns may be paused or suspended due to failed payments.

You will need to update your payment method to avoid interruption.

Pro Tip: If you delete the VCC, make sure to update your payment method in Twitter Ads with a new card before the next billing cycle to avoid ads being paused.

✅ Steps to Ensure Continuity in Your Campaigns:
Update your payment method in Twitter Ads to a new valid card before you pause or deactivate the old VCC.

Monitor your account to make sure there are no billing issues or unpaid balances.
