How can I use the ad credit?
How ad credit is used will depend on the payment method you use on your TikTok Ads Manager advertiser account: manual or automatic.
For accounts using the manual payment method, the ad credit will be used before the account balance is applied. For example, once you've redeemed your ad credit, we will bill any charges against your ad credit before using your account's balance.
For accounts using the automatic payment method, your ad credit will be used after paying your account's balance. This ad credit will then be used first before charging your account on your next campaign. For example, once you successfully spend the required amount in advertising and pay the bill (excluding any tax and other ad credit), then the ad credit will be used first before billing your account when you start to run the following ad campaign.
Why is my ad credit frozen?
If your account has been flagged for safety reasons due to irregularities on the account, your ad credit may get blocked from receiving the ad credit. Please file an appeal on our advertiser support system. You can submit a ticket here or go to your TikTok Ads Manager and click on the question mark in the top-right corner.
