Updated today

If you're having trouble with your Sling Card, check how to fix some common problems below. If it continues, please contact support.


Why your payment might decline

  • Not enough in your Sling Balance: check your balance and add money if needed

  • Daily spending limit reached: try again the next day

  • Merchant does not support virtual cards: some merchants do not accept virtual debit cards

  • Security review: your transaction may be under review for your protection

If your payment continues to be declined, please contact support.


Why your payment is pending

A pending payment means the merchant has authorized the transaction but has not finalized it yet. This is normal and usually finalizes within 1 to 3 business days.

If a payment has been pending for more than 3 business days, please contact support.


Track a refund

Most refunds appear in your Sling Balance within 5 to 10 business days. The exact timing depends on the merchant.

If your refund has not appeared after 10 business days, please contact support.

If you see a transaction you do not recognize

  1. Lock your Sling Card to stop transactions

  2. Review your transaction history to check for any details you may have missed

  3. Contact support immediately so we can help

We’ll investigate the situation and make sure your account is protected.
