Why was my VCC declined on Twitter Ads?

Your VCC (Virtual Credit Card) was likely declined on Twitter Ads for one or more of the following common reasons — and each has a fix. Here's a straight-to-the-point breakdown:

🚫 Top Reasons Your VCC Was Declined on Twitter Ads
1. 💳 Address (AVS) Mismatch
Twitter requires the billing address you enter to match exactly what your VCC provider has on file.

Even a wrong ZIP code or missing apartment number can trigger a decline.

✅ Fix: Double-check and match the billing address (including ZIP) from your VCC provider.

2. 💸 Insufficient Funds
Twitter might test your card with a $1–$5 authorization hold or charge a minimum ad amount.

If your VCC doesn't have a balance, it'll be declined even before your campaign starts.

✅ Fix: Load at least $10–$20 onto the card before adding it to Twitter Ads.

3. 🔁 VCC Doesn't Support Recurring or Ad Payments
Some VCCs are single-use only or block ad platforms and recurring billing.

Twitter's billing is recurring + international, so the VCC must allow both.

✅ Fix: Use a VCC from a provider like:

Revolut

Wise

Privacy.com (US only)

Capital One Eno

Divvy (for business)

4. 🌍 International Payment Block
Twitter charges may come from outside your country.

Some VCCs only support domestic transactions.

✅ Fix: Enable international use or switch to a global-friendly card.

5. 🧠 Twitter Flagged the Card as Suspicious
Using VCCs from non-reputable sources or trying multiple failed cards in a short time can trigger Twitter's fraud system.

✅ Fix: Wait a few hours, then try with a better card provider. If flagged, you may need to contact Twitter Ads Support.

🧰 What You Should Do Next
✅ Confirm your card is active, funded, and supports recurring/international charges

✅ Re-add the card with correct billing info

✅ If it still fails, switch to a different VCC provider known to work

✅ If stuck, contact Twitter Ads Support and explain the issue
