Once selected, you will then see the "Delete" button listed under the credit card information. From there, you will then be able to successfully remove the card on file as a viable payment method. Note this will only be clickable if your campaigns have been paused for 48 hours and you do not have an unbilled balance.
If your campaigns are in a non paused state (expired, exhausted, etc.), you will need to delete your campaigns in order to delete your card.

How do advertiser credit/coupons work?

To confirm whether the coupon has been applied, please consult your Billing History page where the coupon will show up as a "Coupon Balance."
A card is required in order to redeem your coupon credit. Your card will be charged automatically for any amount your campaigns serve over the amount of the original coupon credit, the coupon funds will always be charged first before your card.
To view your current ad coupon balance, simply navigate to your Billing History page and under the "Funding sources" section you'll see your remaining ad coupon balance.
