Adds a delta amount to the virtual balance of a card, and returns the resulting balance in USD. Unlike Override virtual balance, which sets an absolute value, this endpoint applies a relative change. The operation is idempotent: retrying a request with the same x-idempotency-key returns the original result instead of applying the amount a second time. Requires an API key with access level 2 or higher.

​
Path parameters

​
cardId
string
required
Card identifier.

​
Headers

​
x-idempotency-key
string
required
Unique key that makes the operation safe to retry. Reusing the same key returns the original result without applying the amount again. Requests with a missing or blank key are rejected.

​
Body

​
amount
number
required
Amount to add, in USD. Must be greater than 0, with up to 2 decimal places.

​
Response

Returns the new total card balance in USD as a JSON number.
