How to Block Specific Merchants or Categories on Your Bits Credit Card
For personalized control over your spending, Bits offers you the ability to block transactions from specific merchants or entire categories of spending. This feature helps you manage your finances better and avoid unauthorized or unwanted charges. Here’s how to set up merchant or category blocks through the Bits App.
Blocking Individual Merchants
If you want to prevent individual merchants from charging your Bits credit card again, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to Settings: Open the Bits App and go to the "Settings" menu.
2. Access Credit Card Settings: In the "Settings" menu, click on "Credit Card Settings".
3. Select ‘Merchants’: Here, you will find the option for "Merchants". By selecting this, you can view a list of merchants you’ve transacted with.
4. Block a Merchant: From the list, choose the merchant you wish to block and follow the prompts to stop them from making further charges to your card.
Blocking Categories of Merchants
To block an entire category of merchants:
1. Open Settings: Start by launching the Bits App and heading to the "Settings" menu.
2. Credit Card Settings: Within "Settings", select "Credit Card Settings".
3. Choose ‘Categories’: In this menu, you will find an option labeled "Categories". By clicking this, you can access the different merchant categories.
4. Block a Category: Browse through the list of categories and select the one you wish to block. Confirm your choice to prevent any merchants within this category from charging your card.
Important Tips
After you have blocked a merchant or category, all future transactions attempted by that merchant or within that category will be declined automatically.
Remember to review your blocked merchants and categories occasionally to ensure they still align with your spending preferences and financial goals.
If you decide to unblock a merchant or category in the future, you can do so by following the same steps and selecting the option to unblock.
