Just realized this, but once you add a credit card to your Yahoo PPC account, you cannot ever fucking delete it. So if it's your primary card, Yahoo is going to keep trying to charge that card, and you will keep getting emails that they can't charge your card if it's not an active card (like my situation).

I emailed the idiots and the gal responds saying that we don't make it possible for you to remove a card once it's added, but we can make it so you don't see it on your account. WTF. Just delete the goddamn thing...or better yet, let me have control of how I pay you dickbags...Geez could they find a way to make it any more difficult.
 


Wrong, You could avoid it if your account is not on auto recharge. Though it's true their shitty system won't let you delete credit card. Even worse, i have 5 paypal shows up as payment methods and they're all the same email. I just can't delete them.
 
I have a second card added in there, which is the one I want to use, but it always defaults to the first one. After 2 emails, they still haven't made that first card go away.
 
^^^ Don't know if they can delete any card. But are you on auto recharge? If so just email them to stop the auto recharge and switch your account to postpaid, something like that.
 
Get your account changed to post-paid and change your card's expiration date and CSC code to some phoney numbers so that they can't charge you even if they wanted to. I used to do it all the time to prevent them from overcharging.
 
What a lame ass replies from people. Absolutely worthless taking advice from one liners who has nothing to contribute but their post counts.

efeezy,

Call up Yahoo customer support 866-YAHOO-SM (866-924-6676). Much better dealing with them on the phone than communicating via email. They should be able to help you delete credit card, manually charge, or whatever issues you may have.

I believe there are certain rules: like new accounts can only have 3 credit cards on file but after some account history, you can add multiple credit cards. If they give you any issues over the phone, haggling a bit should do the trick.

Call them up and tell them you want to go on manual payments, that means only you can put money in your account through their interface. If you don't do that, they'll keep charging your cards and ringing up a huge balance in your account.
 
With post-paid accounts, do they still require you to have 3x your average daily spending or account budget in the account?

I just have a dummy paypal email address in there for default for the auto charge but manually just add funds with my credit card when im ready to.
