You can request an update if you received notice that a credit card was declined or the constituent reaches out to update their credit card information. Please refer to this article "<a href="./updating-a-constituent-credit-card-dv" target="_blank">Updating a Constituent Credit Card</a>" for instructions on getting the new card number entered by the constituent using **Send Update Request**. You can also manually update the card number if you received the new credit card information from your constituent. From the Payment Options tab for that constituent, click on **+Add credit card** to add a new card number.

Once the new card has been added or the constituent wishes to charge a different card that is already on file, it will be necessary to update the pledge.

- Go to the pledge from the constituent's Pledges Tab.
- Double click on any of the Due Amounts for that pledge.

- Go to the **Payment Method** drop-down and select the new card number.
- Click on the green **Save** button on the top or bottom of the page to save the change.
- Once the old card is no longer linked to any donations it can be deleted on the Payment Options tab.
- Deleting the old card will stop any Credit Card Expiration notification emails as well.
