You can advertise on LinkedIn using a credit card as your payment method. Only the ad account billing admin can add or update credit card information.
Here's a tip
If you use monthly invoicing as your payment method for LinkedIn Ads, learn more about monthly invoicing payment FAQs.
After you add or update a credit card, your bank may place an authorization hold on your credit card for an amount up to $1.01, or the equivalent amount in your currency. The authorization hold will be removed from your credit card statement according to the policies of your bank.
When you advertise on LinkedIn using a credit card, your billing frequency is determined automatically. You don’t need to set it manually and you can’t currently change it. Instead, LinkedIn uses a payment threshold system to decide when to charge your account.
Your billing frequency depends on how quickly your ad spend reaches your current threshold. If your spend exceeds the threshold, you’ll be charged the next day. If it doesn’t, any remaining balance is charged on the first day of the following month.
The amount shown in Campaign Manager may not always match your receipt due to how billing thresholds and reporting timelines work. Sometimes, activity from your campaign is reported slightly after your billing cycle ends. In those cases, your receipt may reflect a lower amount, and the remaining balance will be added to your next invoice automatically.
If you have questions about the amount on your invoice, please contact Customer Support.
