Short answer
Your saved card is charged when unpaid spend reaches the account's payment threshold, and any remaining balance is charged at month end. New accounts start with a low threshold that can rise automatically after successful payments. Advertisers and support can't change it.
Key facts
- Each threshold charge creates its own invoice; equal amounts aren't duplicates
- Thresholds may progress after two successful qualifying payments
- Failed charges, disputes and chargebacks can pause increases
- A threshold isn't a budget or a spend cap
- Taxes can make a charge exceed the threshold
Questions
Can we set an account-wide spending limit?
Only postpaid invoice accounts can. Self-serve card accounts control spend through campaign budgets.
