Visa Gift Card
You can use your Visa Gift Card virtually anywhere Visa Cards are accepted within the United States and District of Columbia, except the Gift Card may not be used for recurring billing or at ATMs.
When paying at the pump, some merchants can authorize and hold up to $175 or the full value of your card, whichever amount is smaller to ensure you have sufficient funds. So, make sure you always know your balance. To avoid the hold at the pump, give your card to the attendant to prepay for the gas.
Some purchases require a preauthorization wherein the merchant sends in a transaction for a higher amount than the purchase. This most often occurs at the gas pump or at a restaurant. We are required to approve and hold funds based on the estimated total until the merchant finalizes the transaction. Merchant finalization can take up to 7 business days.
No, we cannot transfer your funds onto a physical gift card.
Gift Cards cannot be used at ATMs nor can you get cash back from any of your purchases.
To check your balance, click on the View and Print this Card button in the email confirmation. Once you are logged into your account, you’ll be able to see the available balance on the Gift Card.
