Google Adwords declining Epassporte virtual card
 

Is anyone else experiencing difficulty using their Epassporte virtual card with Adwords? I have, for a couple of years, used the # to purchase Google adwords ads and had no difficulty, however, as of a couple of days ago Adwords only returns an error to say that they are unable to charge the card (no decline code provided, of course). As there are ample funds avail in my Epassporte account, there is some other issue.

As an aside, I do note that the Epassporte virtual card can be problematic -- I have had several cases where merchants have refused to accept a card based in a foreign country (foreign to where I live), and fairly frequent problems where online retailers manually process credit card purchases -- and the virtual card cannot be manually processed. However, as mentioned above, I have never previously had a problem with Adwords until now.

Interesting... bump for you :)

maybe try to withdraw the money from an atm and send it to google hq via carrier pigeon.

It might be the Holidays as it does say "Please allow up to 4 additional days for deposits and withdrawals to process as banks close during the holiday season" in the epass account

Not sure how this would affect virtual cards though

Yes I am sure.

It's a well known problem that Epassporte virtual cards have been used so much with Adwords that they have started to limit or even discontinue the usability of them completely.

As it is easy to get new virtual cards, Adwords/G**gle want to make it at least somewhat harder for cheap users to get unique card numbers. And this of course them in turn affects all who do even legit business over Epass. But on the other hand, if you have a lagit business, then you can also both afford and easily qualify for a normal credit card, do that and get away from much trouble!

What are u talking about??? Are you from India my friend? :stoned

That G**gle don't like users with virtual cards, get a real one instead.

That would suck a lot. I always used my epass card for adwords, but didn't have any campaigns recently.

Pretty much everywhere delcines my epass Virtual Visa for anything now. Even if there's plenty of cash there.

Or you can load your normal credit card from epass and just use a normal CC instead... which is what I do.

:1orglaugh:error

I've never been able to use the virtual card anywhere online, is always declined.

I've used it like 1000 times online and it worked every time...
no problems at all...
even at google checkout and google ad words...
