How to link a card to Facebook in 2024: basic rules, features, and what you
need to consider
Facebook is a relevant and profitable traffic source for affiliates. It is a dynamic
platform with constantly changing algorithms, including card linking features.
Here's how to link a card to FB in 2024 and what you need to consider.
Basic rules of card linking
One of the main rules in 2024 is the trustworthiness of the card. Facebook
examines the BIN of the card and the reputation and reliability of the bank. For
instance, cards from LeadingCards are successfully linked to FB due to trustworthy
BINs and cooperation with 12+ major issuers.
It is crucial to maintain anonymity by logging into the account from the IP
address in the same GEO where the account was created and where the campaign
is launched. Ideally, the card's GEO should also match the GEO of the account or
campaign.
Features and methods of card linking in 2024
There are different ways to link a card to Facebook. If one method fails, you can
try the others.
Via FB Business Manager
You need to create an ad account in FB Business Manager, go to the "Billing"
section, click the "Start" button. Then you need to set the currency, GEO. We
also recommend that you add tax information. Keep in mind that FB may
request a hold, which means that a small amount will be charged and returned
to you. This hold should be confirmed.
Via fundraising
Facebook has a section called 'Collect Donations'. To donate, click the 'Donate'
button and select an amount, such as $1. Facebook deducts the chosen amount
and links the card simultaneously. Such cards are more trustworthy because FB
has verified that the payer is willing to pay and that the card is valid.
Linking card directly in "Billing"
Firstly, navigate to the "Ad Account" section, then to the "Billing" section and
click the "Start" button. As with previous methods, select the currency, GEO,
and tax information. Then, add a card and confirm the hold.
Via a Fan Page ads
You need to go to the Fan Page, select "Promote publication". Then, specify
the desired budget, add a payment method, and click "Place". This way the
card will be more trustworthy, because the affiliate pays for the promotion
immediately.
Conclusion
Some methods, such as paying for publication promotion or donations, can
increase trust in the card and account. These methods can be used to warm
up accounts. When linking cards to Facebook, choose cards from a trusted
provider with good BINs to avoid the risk of losing your account.
