Some foreign accounts are limited to one card. Split the cards across the two apps instead.
Foreign accounts are often capped at one card.
What you'll see
If adding a second card fails, your account may be capped at one card:
"Card limit reached" · "Cannot add more cards"
中国 App 里显示为：已达绑卡上限 / 无法添加更多卡
Error-text level: L2 (observed wording). Exact in-app strings are being verified against a live device.
Why it happens
Many foreign accounts are limited to a single bound card. WeChat and Alipay track this limit separately, so the same physical card can live in both.
Fastest fix, free:Remove the existing card, then add the new one — or keep one card in WeChat and put the second in Alipay, since the limits are separate.
Every case shows the diagnosis and the first step - free. The full step-by-step fix for this exact case, the decision tree, and the offline kit are $9.99.
