How do I ensure my VCC is accepted by Twitter Ads?

To ensure your VCC (Virtual Credit Card) is accepted by Twitter Ads, you need to meet a few key technical and policy requirements. Here's a quick guide to help you get it right the first time:

✅ Checklist to Ensure Your VCC Works with Twitter Ads
1. 🔁 Supports Recurring Billing
Twitter Ads charges on a recurring basis — either when you reach your billing threshold or monthly. Your VCC must allow repeat charges from the same merchant.

✅ Tip: Choose VCCs that are made for subscriptions or ad platforms.

2. 🌍 Allows International Transactions
Twitter Ads billing often comes from international processors. If your VCC only supports domestic (in-country) charges, it will be declined.

✅ Tip: Enable international use in your VCC settings, or pick a provider that allows it by default (like Wise or Revolut).

3. 📬 Supports AVS (Address Verification System)
Twitter validates the billing address with your card issuer. If AVS isn't supported, or the address doesn't match, your VCC will be rejected.

✅ Tip: Input the exact billing address and ZIP/postal code from your VCC provider.

4. 💳 Is a Recognized Card Type
Twitter accepts:

Visa

Mastercard

American Express

(Sometimes) Discover and JCB

✅ Tip: Make sure your VCC is issued as one of these types. Visa and Mastercard are safest.

5. 💰 Has Enough Balance
Even before ad spending starts, Twitter may place a $1–$5 authorization hold to test the card.

✅ Tip: Load at least $10–$20 USD on the card to ensure validation doesn't fail.
