By default, if our newly registered Vultr account needs to be recharged at least $5 to activate the account, we can use Bitcoin, credit card and PAYPAL payment methods. Generally, we use more credit cards and PAYPAL. Yesterday Vultr launched a reward plan of $20. Although many friends got it, the activity expired after a short time, and Lao Zuo didn't get it. The newly registered account only received a reward of $5+2（ 5 dollars for newly registered VULTR account ）。
A novice friend left a message to Lao Zuo, asking about the binding of account payment methods, because we may use credit cards and PAYPAL payment more often, whether it is due to the imperfection of Vultr system or their intentional setting, if we recharge with credit cards, the default card account is in the account, if the machine in the account is open and not deleted in time, It will always deduct fees from our credit card or PAYPAL.
First, if we pay with PAYPAL
That's relatively simple. We just need to check whether there is a PAYPAL prepayment authorization in the financial management prepayment option of PAYPAL. If there is, we can cancel it.
If we do not want automatic deduction from Paypal, we can cancel the agreement, so that we will not automatically renew the payment from PayPal.
Second, if you use a credit card to recharge and renew
If you use a credit card to recharge and renew, it's a little troublesome. We can apply for CANEL CREDIT CARD binding by directly contacting VULTR customer service through TK. Generally, we will cancel the binding. There is another way that we can operate by ourselves. We can submit a virtual credit card account that cannot automatically deduct fees. Then delete the existing credit card binding account that can be overdrawn, which is similar to the familiar GODADDY credit card binding (add one, and then delete the previous one).
First, we add a credit card, which can be a virtual credit card with a little balance, and then delete the bound one.
In conclusion, in order to prevent other sudden security problems, we also need to pay attention to the security of our VULTR account. We can enable secondary password protection. The password setting length is more complicated, and the above automatic renewal recharge service can be canceled. The most important thing is that if we plan to use the machine for a long time, we should keep it in our account. If we do not use it, we should delete the machine in time, because VULTR is charged by hour, and will not be charged if we do not use it.
