Can you pay GitHub Copilot with this card? Check GitHub’s rule first
Short answer: GitHub’s payment docs say "Prepaid credit/debit cards are not accepted". Pink Card is a prepaid card and our cards have no successful GitHub charge yet, so we don’t recommend using it for Copilot — a declined charge still costs the $1 fee.
Steps
- 1
Check the plans
Open github.com/features/copilot/plans to see Free, Pro, Pro+ and other plans.

Where payment info goes
Signed in to GitHub: avatar (top right) → Settings → Billing and licensing → Payment information. GitHub accepts bank-issued credit/debit cards and PayPal there.
The “Payment information” link on GitHub’s billing page (older GitHub Docs screenshot, from when the menu was called Billing & plans) Image source: GitHub Docs (CC BY 4.0) (link). If this infringes your rights, email [email protected] and we will remove it right away.
