Using Your Prepaid Visa or Mastercard Gift Card for Online Purchases
When shopping online with your prepaid Visa or Mastercard gift card, you may be asked to enter a billing address and/or billing zip code as part of online checkout.
Here’s what to know:
- No Specific Registration: Prepaid gift cards are not registered to a specific name or billing address, so you can enter your own address.
For Online Purchases:
1. Enter Billing Address or Zip Code:
- If prompted in online checkout, enter your physical home address (must be a valid U.S. address and not a P.O. box).
- If only a zip code is needed, enter your physical home zip code.
2. Declined Transactions:
- As long as you entered a valid U.S. address, a declined transaction is likely not due to the billing address or zip code as a specific address is not required.
- Check the balance on your card to ensure you have enough funds for the transaction.
- If you entered a USPS zip code and you are seeing the incorrect zip code error, the merchant likely does not accept prepaid Visa or Mastercard gift cards as a valid form of payment. Contact the merchant to ask about their policy on prepaid card acceptance.
By following these suggestions, you can use your prepaid Visa or Mastercard gift card for online purchases.
