Can I pay for subscriptions with the El Dorado Virtual Card?
Yes. The El Dorado Virtual Card works like any Visa card, so you can use it to pay for subscriptions on digital platforms that accept Visa.
Since it's denominated in USD, payments to services that charge in dollars are processed without currency conversion. You pay exactly the listed price.
What subscriptions can I pay for?
Among many others, you can pay for:
Streaming: Netflix, Spotify, YouTube Premium, Disney+, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime
Productivity: ChatGPT Plus, Notion, Canva Pro, Adobe Creative Cloud
Storage: iCloud, Google One, Dropbox
Gaming: PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass
Education: Platzi, Coursera, Udemy
Basically: if it accepts Visa, it accepts your card.
How do I set up payment?
Open the platform where you want to pay (Netflix, Spotify, etc.)
Go to the payment method section
Add your El Dorado Virtual Card as a Visa card
Enter the card details (you'll find them in the El Dorado app)
Make sure you have balance on the card before the monthly charge
The charge will be made automatically each month. You just need to keep balance on the card.
How is it different from paying with a local card?
With a local card:
Many platforms decline cards from certain countries
International transaction fees apply
The bank converts currency at its own exchange rate (usually unfavorable)
With the El Dorado Virtual Card:
Being a Visa issued in the United States, it has global acceptance
Payments in USD have no currency conversion
No additional international transaction fees in USD
📌 Tip: Top up your card a few days before the monthly charge of your subscriptions to avoid declines due to insufficient balance.
