While some debit cards might occasionally work, they're not officially supported and can cause issues - here's why we recommend sticking to credit cards.
Official policy:
Credit cards only - Per our Terms of Service, only United States-issued Visa and Mastercard credit cards will work
Terms compliance - This is our official, supported payment method for the merchant platform
Why some debit cards seemed to work:
"Run as credit" processing - Anecdotally, some players have reported debit cards "run as credit" working
Unofficial method - But this method is not officially supported on our end
No support guarantee - We cannot help you if something goes wrong using this method
Why this matters:
Inconsistent results - Debit cards may work sometimes but fail other times
Missing rewards - You might not receive Atlas Bucks even if the purchase processes
No troubleshooting - Support can't help resolve debit card reward issues
What we recommend:
Switch to credit cards - Use a US-issued Visa or Mastercard credit card for reliable rewards
Guaranteed support - Credit card issues can be fully supported by our team
Consistent earning - Credit cards provide reliable Atlas Bucks rewards
Pro tip: Many credit cards offer their own cashback or rewards in addition to Atlas Bucks, making them a better choice overall for maximizing your shopping benefits!
