Does Twitter Ads store my VCC details for future transactions?

SeoGuru

Yes, Twitter Ads does store your Virtual Credit Card (VCC) details — but only securely and with your authorization — for use in future billing transactions related to your ad account.

Here's a breakdown of how it works:

🔐 1. Secure Storage of Payment Info
When you add a VCC (or any payment method) to Twitter Ads, it's stored in a tokenized format — meaning your actual card number isn't saved directly.

Twitter uses secure industry-standard PCI-compliant methods to encrypt and store your payment info.

🔁 2. Automatic Billing for Campaigns
Once added, Twitter uses your VCC to automatically charge:

When your campaign hits the billing threshold.

Or at the end of your monthly billing cycle, depending on your ad spend.

So yes — once stored, your VCC will be automatically charged unless removed or replaced.

🧾 3. You Can Manage Stored Payment Methods
Go to: Twitter Ads Dashboard > Billing & Payments.

From here, you can:

View your saved payment methods.

Add a new one.

Remove or replace existing cards — including your VCC.

🔄 If your VCC expires or is removed by Twitter (due to a failed payment or flag), you'll need to update it to continue running ads.

⚠️ Important Notes About VCCs Specifically
While Twitter stores VCCs like regular cards, not all VCCs work well long-term:

Some VCCs are temporary or single-use.

Others may expire or have low spending limits.

If your VCC fails or gets flagged, Twitter might suspend campaigns or even remove the VCC from your account.
