Common reasons why your card is not working

Is your gift card not working or being accepted for purchases? If your card is not working, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

1. Your card is not activated.
2. Your card is expired.
3. You have insufficient funds on your card to support your purchase. (may be due to a pre-authorization charge)
4. The merchant does not accept prepaid cards. (see more info below)
