Error preventing spending with a personal account.

It's common for ad accounts not to spend money, especially with strict campaigns. You need to create campaigns to warm up the account and build a healthy spending history, then it will work properly.

Exactly. Many ad accounts don’t spend because they’re launched too aggressively. Warming up the account with low-risk campaigns helps build trust, stabilize delivery, and create a healthy spending history. Once the account gains data and credibility, scaling becomes much smoother.
 
This usually happens when the ads are still under review, restricted, or the account has limited delivery.
Check Ads Manager for status, billing setup, and whether the ad is actually “Active” (not learning/paused).
Also, low budget + narrow targeting on new personal accounts can result in no spend at all.
 
Double-check your audience settings to ensure they aren't too narrow, confirm the campaign has been approved, and try a different payment method to see if any funds are being held without prior notification.

If there’s no spending activity, start by reviewing your account. It could be a setup issue or an overly restricted audience. Try scaling the campaign and double-check your payment method.

There's no problem with the payment method. It's just a fan page engagement campaign, but I don't know why it's not costing anything. Do you have any setup instructions?
 
If you just launch white ads to warm up but no spend, it's the account and page problem. Change each thing to see where the problem is
 
This often happens; check your ad account restrictions and ensure the campaign has been approved. If everything is okay, clone and relaunch the campaign to speed up delivery for a low budget.
 
Sometimes campaigns don’t start spending right away due to targeting or setup issues. It’s a good idea to review your campaign settings, audience selection, and budget. Even small adjustments can often help trigger delivery.
 
Please check your website; it might be blocked, or the problem could be with your payment card. Try replacing your payment card with a new one.
 
Try changing your payment card. If the problem persists, you will need to change your advertising account, as the problem is often with the account itself.
 
If all three accounts are unable to spend, set up a natural campaign with a budget of $4 to test it.

As the title says, I have 3 personal accounts and I've posted a campaign to boost their engagement with a $20 budget. But 3 days have passed and they haven't spent a single cent. Can anyone help me?

Have your ads been approved or not yet? Sometimes Facebook doesn't spend your budget because your bm hasn't been approved.
 
No spend? Check setup, audience limits, and payment methods, then try scaling your campaign.
