A one-time-use credit card is a secure option for online payments like Google Ads, provided it has a Visa or MasterCard logo. If you’re having trouble with a one-time-use credit card, here’s what you can do.
First, double-check the card details - number, CVV, expiration date, and limit and make sure everything is correct. For Google Ads, you’ll also need to add $1 extra to the limit since Google tests the card with a $1 transaction (e.g., set $301 for a $300 payment).
If your bank is in the European Economic Area, keep an eye out for an additional authentication step, like a one-time code, as required by PSD2 regulations.
If the payment is still declined, it might be due to an expired card or insufficient limit, so reach out to your bank for clarification. If none of this works, you might want to switch to another payment method. Let me know if that helps!
