Can you pay GitHub Copilot with this card? Check GitHub’s rule first
Short answer: GitHub’s payment docs say "Prepaid credit/debit cards are not accepted". Pink Card is a prepaid card and our cards have no successful GitHub charge yet, so we don’t recommend using it for Copilot — a declined charge still costs the $1 fee.
We don’t recommend paying GitHub Copilot with Pink Card. The steps below only show where the plans and payment settings are, for use with your own bank card or PayPal.

Common reasons it fails
What our cards show:
- Since our records began there has been one GitHub charge, still pending, and no successful one.
If a charge fails, top up first and then retry once — don’t keep clicking. Every charge costs $1, failed ones too (at most 3 failed-charge fees per card per month). Top-ups usually arrive within 5–10 minutes and the card number stays the same.
