Summary: How to add or remove a saved payment card for automatic renewals, choose which services a card renews, and how card priority works.

## What this is

A saved card is a card you store with us so a service can **renew automatically** from it. You manage saved cards at **Billing, Saved Cards**. This is one of the three auto-renewal options. See [Automatic renewals](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/manage-subscriptions) for how it compares to Paddle and Fastspring subscriptions. Find it at https://vpsdime.com/managecards.

## What you'll see

On **Billing, Saved Cards**:

![The Saved Cards page: the Card Usage Priority notice, a Saved Payment Cards table with Manage Services and Delete buttons per card, and an Add New Card button](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/images/saved-cards.png)

- An **Add New Card** button.
- A table of your saved cards: **Card Owner**, **Card Number** (masked), **Date Added**, and **Used For Services**.
- If you haven't saved any, an empty state: *"No saved card found. Click here to add one."*

## Adding a card

Click **Add New Card** on the Saved Cards page to open the form. It has two parts:

- **Billing Information:** your name, address, and phone number (pre-filled from your account).
- **Card Details:** card type, card number, expiry date, and CVV.

![The Add New Card form: Billing Information and Card Details panels, the Use Card For Auto Renewal selector, and Save Card / Cancel buttons](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/images/cropped/add-card-form-panels.png)

Then set **Use Card For Auto Renewal**:

- **Renew all of my services** with this card.
- **Renew some services** (you pick which ones from the list that appears).
- **Save it for manual payments only** (the card is stored for convenience but won't auto-renew anything).

Click **Save Card** when you're done.

## Choosing which services a card renews

The **Used For Services** column shows what each card covers. A card can renew **all** your services, **specific** ones, or be saved **for manual payments only** (no auto-renewal).

- **Card priority:** if you have one card saved for specific services and another saved for all services, the specific-service card is used for those services, and the all-services card covers the rest.

## Removing a card

Remove a card from the same page to stop it being used for renewals. If that card was the only thing auto-renewing a service, that service goes back to **manual** renewal and you'll pay its invoices yourself. See [Automatic renewals](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/manage-subscriptions).

## If a saved-card charge fails

Your saved card is charged **on the invoice's due date**, never before it. If that charge is declined, we retry **once a day** on the following days. If you have several unpaid invoices, we attempt **one** of them per day; the others wait for the next day's run.

After **three failed days in a row**, we **disable the card** for automatic renewals and email you. To get back on track, pay any open invoice manually (see [Viewing and paying an invoice](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/invoices)) and check, update, or re-add your card.

## Things worth knowing

- **Saved cards are separate from Paddle and Fastspring subscriptions.** A saved card here renews through our card processor and shows as **Saved Card** on the subscriptions page. Paddle and Fastspring subscriptions are set up while paying an invoice and are managed under [Automatic renewals](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/manage-subscriptions).
- **Removing a card doesn't cancel the service.** It just stops auto-renewal. The service keeps running until its next due date.

## Troubleshooting

- **My card was declined when I tried to save it.** Try again or use a different card. If it keeps failing, your bank may be blocking it. Contact them, or use another auto-renewal method.
- **A renewal didn't go through on my saved card.** Pay the open invoice manually (see [Viewing and paying an invoice](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/invoices)), and check the card is still valid and assigned to that service.

## Still need help?

You can [open a support ticket](https://vpsdime.com/open-ticket/). So we can help on the first reply, it's worth mentioning:

- which service the card should renew,
- whether you're adding, removing, or reassigning a card,
- any error you saw.

**Never put full card details in a ticket.** Add or update cards only on the Saved Cards page.
