Regarding the issue of keeping credit card information bound to Linode accounts

Nowadays, although the prices of Linode VPS hosting providers are not as high and handsome as before, most users can afford it from a cost perspective. However, the purchase threshold still remains at the requirement to bind a credit card to register an account, but you can use PAYPAL when renewing and recharging. The online advantages of Linode merchants' products have not been significantly improved, but its multi-machine room and hourly billing model are still chosen by some users.

Last week, Snail’s Linode account (a machine that has not been used for a long time and has not been activated) received a work order with the following content:

Recently we noticed that your account does not have valid payment information listed in the Linode Manager.

According to Section 3 of our Terms of Service the following is listed under Prohibited Usage: “Providing False Data on any Contract or Application: including fraudulent use of credit card numbers.” The credit card you currently have listed with us is not a valid credit card number and we must now require that you update that information to reflect your valid credit card number within 96 hours.

If you have not updated your payment information within 96 hours we will be forced to suspend your account. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns about this.

It means that the credit card originally bound to my account has expired and I need to update the credit card binding. Otherwise, my account will be suspended after 96 hours. Although the account does not have a few cents in balance, I still want to keep the account. We understand that credit cards have an expiration date and will be prompted to expire after expiration.

At first I thought I could just change to a credit card with a longer validity period, so I referred to the general invalid temporary as mentioned in "Linode renewal and deduction issues and credit card recharge-bound account security issues" Card \\"54311111111111111\\" instead, the validity period can be filled in at will. After submitting, I responded to the ticket to inform me that it had been updated and that my account should not be locked.

The reply I received from the work order the next day was that your card number was invalid, it was not a valid work order, and it needed to be replaced with a valid one. So, I could only find a valid credit card to replace it. After the replacement is completed, continue to submit and ask if it supports Paypal payment, why does it need to be bound to a credit card?

We do allow payments with PayPal but a valid credit card needs to be on the account at all times. Thank you very much for updating your card.

The answer is that at any time, there needs to be a valid credit card bound to the account.

To summarize, in fact, when we bind a credit card, we can find a temporary virtual card within the validity period to bind. We can use PAYPAL when recharging, so that we don't have to worry about the credit card being charged.
