Tips for successful payments at Tinder
- AcceptedOn iPhone, a purchase opens a payment page in your phone's default browser, so enter your card details and finish the purchase there.
- AcceptedTo change the card for a tinder.com purchase, sign in, open your profile, tap the settings icon and choose Change Card under Manage Account.
- AcceptedSubscriptions do not move between iPhone and Android, so cancel on your old device before you subscribe on a new one.
- AcceptedCancel any active subscription and let it expire before you redeem a Tinder gift card with its 19-digit number and 4-digit PIN.
Why do Tinder payments decline?
- Payment declined on tinder.com or with a card added directly
- Tinder's own checkout charges under dating services (MCC 7273), which Halocard declines. Buy the subscription in the Android app through Google Play instead, with the card saved in your Google account; the charge then comes from Google Play.
- "Purchase Failed"
- On iPhone, this means your Apple ID already has an active subscription on a different Tinder account. Each Apple ID supports one Tinder account and one subscription, so the old account has to be deleted first.
- The card does not support recurring payments
- Some gift cards, prepaid cards and debit cards cannot pay for a Tinder subscription. Use a credit card, PayPal or Venmo instead.
- A typo in the card details
- Check that every letter and digit you entered matches what is printed on your card.
Tinder payment FAQ
What payment methods does Tinder accept?
Tinder's accepted payment methods article lists most credit and debit cards, PayPal and Venmo, with Venmo on the website only. On tinder.com that means Visa, Mastercard or American Express, and Google Pay in some locations. On Android, Google Play can take the payment, or the app can charge a card or PayPal directly. Options vary by location and device.
How do I cancel a Tinder subscription?
Cancel where you paid. For a tinder.com purchase, or a card or PayPal purchase in the Android app, open your profile, choose Manage Payment Account and tap Cancel Subscription. For Google Play, go to Payments & Subscriptions in the Google Play app. For an Apple purchase, use Subscriptions in your iPhone settings. Deleting the app does not cancel.
Can I get a refund from Tinder?
Most purchases are nonrefundable, but Tinder can help with a card, PayPal or Google CC purchase made in the last 14 days. Write in from the email used to buy and include the order number, which starts with TNDR or COSU. Apple and Google handle refunds for purchases made through them.
Are there Tinder gift cards?
Yes. A Tinder gift card gives one month of Tinder Gold, and you buy one online on Tinder's gift card page. Gift cards do not expire. To redeem one, enter the 19-digit number and 4-digit PIN on the same page and log in. Blackhawk Network, Tinder's gift card partner, handles gift card problems.
What does Tinder show up as on a bank statement?
Charge lookup sites list TINDER and GOTINDER.COM/HELP for purchases made with Tinder directly, and GOOGLE *TINDER or TINDER G.CO/HELPPAY for purchases billed through Google Play. The exact wording varies by bank.
