Ad Platforms: which virtual cards work
These platforms need one card per account and re-authorise whenever spend crosses a threshold. In this group 2,943 of 4,102 charges cleared across 19 ranges. Below is every checkout we test here, with the ranges that passed and the ones that did not.
Genome is the one we would start with in this group: about $1.09 to open, ID + proof at signup. Our second pick is Starling Bank, which we keep for the checkouts where Genome gets a range block, not because it is cheaper. The other rows below are here because they cleared something specific, not to pad the list.
Merchants in this group include Reddit Ads · Bing Ads · Facebook Ads.
