A provider is asking me to update payment info

If a service in your bundle prompts you to update payment information, don't enter your personal card. Here's what's happening and what to do.

Why this happens

A provider might ask for updated payment info if:

The Bundled-issued card on file is expiring soon
A recent charge was declined or returned
The provider is doing a routine verification of the card
They want you to "confirm" the payment method during checkout for a new feature

In most cases, this is fine — it just means we need to handle the update from our side.

What to do

Two options:

Option 1: Skip the prompt (most cases)

If the prompt is informational (not blocking access), close it. We'll detect the card-update need from our side and resolve it automatically.

You can keep using the service in the meantime. We have multiple cards on file with most providers as a redundancy.

Option 2: Email support if access is blocked

If the prompt is blocking access ("Update payment to continue"):

Don't enter your personal card.
Take a screenshot of the prompt.
Email [email protected] with the screenshot.
We'll handle it with the provider directly — usually within an hour during business hours.

What if I already entered my personal card?

This is recoverable. Email [email protected] with:

Which service you updated payment on
When you did it
Whether you've been double-charged

We'll:

Help you remove your card from the provider
Re-add a Bundled-managed card
Help you get a refund from the provider for any duplicate charges (Bundled won't have charged you twice — but the provider may have)

The faster you let us know, the easier it is to clean up. Don't wait.

Why our billing process works this way

We use Bundled-controlled payment cards to pay each provider so we can:

Manage Risk-Free Trials (pause the card to prevent auto-conversion)
Execute no-click cancellations (stop paying when you stop using)
Keep your personal card private from individual providers
Negotiate, downgrade, and cancel on your behalf

If you put your personal card on file with a provider directly, all of these features break for that service. Worse, you start getting billed by both Bundled and the provider — double-payment.
