How do I verify my VCC for Twitter Ads payments?

Verifying your Virtual Credit Card (VCC) for Twitter Ads payments is all about making sure the card passes Twitter's internal security and billing checks. Here's a step-by-step guide to get your VCC verified and working:

✅ Step-by-Step: Verify Your VCC for Twitter Ads
1. Choose a VCC That Supports AVS
Your VCC must support Address Verification System (AVS) — Twitter uses this to confirm your billing address matches the card issuer's records.

Make sure your VCC provider gives you:

Cardholder name

Billing address

ZIP/postal code

✅ Providers like Privacy.com, Wise, Revolut, and Capital One Eno support AVS.

2. Add the VCC to Your Twitter Ads Account
Go to Twitter Ads Manager

Navigate to Billing

Click Add a payment method

Enter your VCC details:

Card number

Expiry date

CVV

Billing address (must match VCC details exactly)

3. Watch for the $1–$5 Authorization Charge
Twitter places a temporary pre-authorization hold to verify the card (usually $1–$5).

This isn't an actual charge — it just checks that the card is real and active.

If this fails, your VCC likely doesn't support authorization or is being blocked.

📌 Tip: Some VCCs let you pre-approve merchants — whitelist Twitter if your provider supports this.

4. Wait for Verification
Twitter will automatically verify the card within minutes to a few hours.

Once verified:

You'll see the card listed under Payment Methods

Your ads will start running (if not already scheduled)

5. Optional: Set As Default
Make your verified VCC the default payment method to avoid failed charges or campaign pauses later.

🛑 If Verification Fails:
Here's what to check:

❌ Card doesn't support AVS → Get one that does

❌ Address mismatch → Double-check VCC billing info

❌ Insufficient balance → Preload funds or raise limit

❌ Card not open to international/recurring charges → Contact VCC provider
