Privacy cards’ spending limits will block any transaction authorization attempts over the limit.

Setting a limit
You can dictate exactly how much a card can be charged, and how often it can be charged on a per transaction, day, month, year, or total basis.
- To set a spending limit on a card, create a new card or select an existing card, then click "Spend Limit"
- To set the dollar value of the limit, either move the slider left or right, or enter the number in the box, then select the duration of the limit.

- Weekly - 7 days
- Monthly - 30 days

What happens if a purchase is less than my spending limit and the card closes? How do I get that money back?
The number you assign to a card is the purchase "limit" or the maximum amount that can be spent before transactions begin declining.
So setting the limit on your card to $50 doesn't mean you loaded $50 onto the card. Only the amount of each individual transaction is debited from your funding source as the purchases are completed.
