How do I monitor transactions made with my VCC on Twitter Ads?

To monitor transactions made with your VCC (Virtual Credit Card) on Twitter Ads, you'll need to track both your VCC account and Twitter Ads billing system. Here's how you can do that effectively:

1. Monitor Transactions via Your VCC Provider
Most VCC providers (like Wise, Revolut, Privacy.com, etc.) offer tools to track and manage transactions in real time.

🔧 How to Monitor VCC Transactions:
Login to your VCC Provider's App/Website: Go to your account dashboard.

Transaction History: Look for a "Transactions" or "Activity" section, where you can see all charges, including those from Twitter Ads.

Set Up Alerts: Most VCC providers offer push notifications, SMS alerts, or email notifications for transactions. Enable these alerts to get notified whenever a charge occurs.

✅ Tip: Make sure your alerts are set to notify you of every charge, not just large ones, so you can keep track of all activity.

2. Monitor Transactions via Twitter Ads Manager
Twitter Ads doesn't provide real-time notifications for individual transactions, but you can still keep track of your spending and review billing history.

🔧 How to Monitor Transactions in Twitter Ads:
Log in to Twitter Ads Manager: Go to ads.twitter.com.

Navigate to Billing: Click on your profile icon in the top-right, and select "Billing" from the dropdown menu.

Review Billing History: On the billing page, you'll see details like:

Recent Charges: Amounts billed and the date of each charge.

Upcoming Charges: If you're near a billing threshold, you'll see a reminder.

Failed Payments: Any unsuccessful transactions.

✅ Tip: If you're using a VCC with a low balance, check your billing history regularly to ensure your card has sufficient funds to avoid failed payments.

3. Review Payment Thresholds and Upcoming Charges
Twitter Ads charges based on billing thresholds (e.g., when your ad spend reaches $50, $250, etc.). Keep track of this to prevent issues:

Check Your Billing Threshold in the Billing section of Twitter Ads Manager.

Review Upcoming Payments: Be aware of when your account is approaching a new payment threshold.

4. Set a Budget and Track Spending
To keep better control of your spending, set a daily or campaign budget in Twitter Ads:

This helps limit how much is charged to your VCC and ensures you don't overspend.

Monitor the daily budget to make sure you don't hit unexpected charges that could max out your VCC.

🧠 Pro Tip:
For complete control, use your VCC provider's spending limit or budgeting tools to restrict how much can be charged to the card per day or month, in addition to using Twitter Ads' built-in tools.
