Ashley Madison charge on your card

Not acceptedHalocard is not accepted

Halocard is not accepted at Ashley Madison, which charges under dating services, a high-risk category Halocard doesn't support. Ashley Madison takes Visa and Mastercard credit, debit and prepaid cards, PayPal, Google Pay, and money orders or cashier's checks mailed to its billing company. Card charges show on statements as AMDA rather than Ashley Madison, unless your bank overrides the descriptor.

What merchant category (MCC) is Ashley Madison?

7273Dating services: Dating and escort services are classified as high-risk purchases by Visa and our issuing bank, so payments to merchants in this category will be declined by Halocard. See Halocard's merchant restrictions.

What is Halocard?

A US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card, with a separate virtual card for each merchant you pay. You choose the cardholder name and billing address on each card, so a merchant only records the details you decide to give.

It cannot be used at Ashley Madison, but works wherever Visa is accepted outside the high-risk categories that are unsupported.

Why Halocard cannot be used at Ashley Madison

Why Halocard can't be used

Ashley Madison is charged under the dating services category, which Visa and our issuing bank classify as high-risk, so Halocard declines payments to it on every card. This is a Halocard rule, not an Ashley Madison rule.

A Visa or Mastercard credit, debit or prepaid card in your own name, entered at checkout on the Ashley Madison website.
PayPal or Google Pay, chosen at checkout on the Ashley Madison website.

Ashley Madison payment FAQ

What is the AMDA charge on my credit card?

AMDA is the discreet billing descriptor Ashley Madison uses for card payments, so the charge does not name the site. It often carries the phone number 866-790-6550, as in AMDA 866-7906550 DE or AMDA 8667906550 CY. Some banks override the descriptor, and purchases made through the App Store, Google Play or Google Pay can show Ashley Madison instead.

What is the AMDB charge on my statement?

AMDB 866-7906550 DE is another form of the same Ashley Madison descriptor, with the same 866-790-6550 phone number. Charge lookup sites have recorded it for Ashley Madison credits and subscriptions. If you did not make the purchase, contact Ashley Madison support or the bank that issued your card.

Does Ashley Madison accept prepaid cards?

Yes. Ashley Madison accepts prepaid Visa and Mastercard cards and prefers international ones. Activate the card for international online purchases first, and fill in a name and billing address at checkout.

How do I cancel an Ashley Madison subscription?

On the website, open Settings, then Purchases, and deactivate the subscription under Active Subscriptions, or ask support@ashleymadison.com to cancel it. A subscription bought in the app is cancelled in your App Store or Google Play subscriptions. You keep access until the paid period ends.

Can I get a refund from Ashley Madison?

Usually not. Ashley Madison's terms say purchases are final, apart from any cooling-off period the law where you live provides. Money orders and cashier's checks are never refunded, and Apple decides refunds for purchases made in the iPhone app.
