Can I use a VCC for other Pinterest services besides Ads?

For non-advertising purposes, like just having a regular Pinterest account to browse, pin, and create boards, Pinterest doesn't require any payment method at all—so you won't need to use a VCC (Virtual Credit Card) or any card at all.

But to clarify things:

🛠� Here's how VCCs work with Pinterest:
✅ Pinterest personal use (browsing, pinning, saving content):
You can use Pinterest normally without entering any card—VCCs are irrelevant here.

❌ Pinterest Ads (paid promotions):
Pinterest does not support most VCCs, prepaid cards, or fintech cards like Wise or Revolut. Using one can trigger automatic suspension because their system flags it as a potential fraud risk.

Why Pinterest might be strict about VCCs:
VCCs are sometimes used for fraudulent ad activity or to bypass geographic/payment restrictions.

Pinterest wants to ensure legit billing and advertiser identity, so they favor traditional credit/debit cards from major banks.

TL;DR:
You can use Pinterest fully for personal purposes without any card. But for Ads, avoid using a VCC—use a traditional credit/debit card instead to keep your account safe.
