How do I resolve billing errors with my VCC on Twitter Ads?

Resolving billing errors with a VCC on Twitter Ads requires a combo of troubleshooting your virtual card setup and updating Twitter's billing settings correctly. Here's a step-by-step guide to fix it fast:

🛠� Step-by-Step: Fix Billing Errors on Twitter Ads (VCC)
✅ 1. Identify the Exact Error Message
First, log into Twitter Ads Billing and check for one of these common messages:

❌ "Your payment method was declined."

⚠️ "We were unable to charge your account."

🚫 "Your ad account has been suspended due to billing issues."

📝 Note the error text — it'll point to the root cause (balance, AVS, fraud detection, etc.)

✅ 2. Confirm Your VCC Is Compatible
Make sure your VCC:

Is active and not expired

Has sufficient funds for the charge

Supports:

🏦 AVS (Address Verification System)

🔁 Recurring payments

🌍 International transactions

💡 Use trusted providers like Revolut, Wise, Privacy.com, or Capital One Eno.

✅ 3. Double-Check Billing Info
Go to Twitter Ads → Payment Methods

Click Edit on your VCC

Ensure:

Cardholder name

Billing address

ZIP/postal code

Expiry/CVV are an exact match with your VCC provider

Even a one-digit mismatch can trigger a decline.

✅ 4. Retry or Replace the Payment Method
Add a new VCC or valid card

Remove the old one only after the new one is accepted

Then go to Billing History and:

Click "Retry payment" or

Wait for Twitter to automatically reattempt with the updated card

✅ 5. Contact Twitter Ads Support (If Needed)
If you've corrected everything and it's still failing:

Go to Twitter Ads Support Form

Select:

Topic: Ads

Issue: Billing & Payments

Include:

Ad account ID

Screenshot of the billing error (hide sensitive data)

Last 4 digits of your VCC (optional)
