Here are some things you should know about the Visa e-gift card option:
- This reward has a 6 month expiration date. Currently, it is the only e-gift card option that expires. The exact expiration date will be shown on the virtual card image received when you redeem for the Visa option.
- The Visa e-gift card can be redeemed online or by phone anywhere VISA is accepted. It cannot be printed or used in stores. Please be advised that you cannot purchase a gift card or add this Virtual Visa to any wallet apps.
- There is no activation or inactivity fee.
- This reward card acts as a credit card so the entire amount of the purchase has to be authorized prior to charging the reward card. If the total purchase amount is more than what is on the reward card, the transaction will be declined. You must spend the exact amount on the card, or less. It may be possible for some merchants to process a phone order and split the payment between the reward card and a personal credit card.
- Choose 'credit' as your form of payment during checkout and enter the Virtual Visa account information when prompted for your card information (the reward number, expiration date and the three digit security code).
- There is a 'flip' button below the card image which will allow you to view the 3 digit security code on the back.
- Registration is required in order to use the VISA gift card online and you will be asked to create an online Virtual Visa account by entering your name, billing address and creating a password.
- You do not have to create a new online Virtual Visa account after each time you redeem a VISA gift card from ReceiptPal. After you create an online Virtual Visa account the first time, the Virtual VISA website will remember you as long as you use the same email address, and will prompt you to login rather than set up a new account.
- Rewards can be added to your online Virtual VISA account, but as a separate rewards. For example, if you redeem two separate $5 Visa e-gift cards they would be added to your online Virtual Visa account separately instead of as one $10 reward amount.
- Personal money cannot be added to the e-gift cards to reload them. They are one time use only.
