Make Sure You Have the Correct Payment Method
If you are logged into your WinRed donor account, head here to update your credit card.
You can also click into the ellipses while on the donation page and select “Update Credit Card”.
If you are not logged in, double-check the card number, expiration date, and the CVC of the card you have inputted.
Don't Use a Giftcard
WinRed does not allow gift cards to be used for donations. Please make sure to use a credit or debit card.

When you are logged into your donor account, you will see your profile email and the last four of your credit card on the donation page. It will look like this:
If you are showing as logged in but having issues updating the payment method, try logging out altogether and making a new donation.
Note: any donations created while not signed into your WinRed account will not be associated with your profile.
