Activation fee of a visa gift card? And how to use online?

Question

I know that there is an activation fee of $10 for any visa gift card, but how do you pay for the fee? Do you like put an extra $10 on there or do you pay where you buy it? etc...oh and i can use it on paypal, right?

Answer 1

you pay the $10 fee when you buy it in the store. and they aren't able to be used on websites, which is horrible. because of all the fraud, they require regular credit cards. maybe u could try & find someone with a credit card to charge it on paypal for you, and u just pay it. i hope that helped.

Answer 2

You pay the activitiaton fee when you buy it.

You can't use it for paypal because paypal requries 'proper' credit cards that are traceable, and prepaid gift cards aren't. I've also been told that some websites don't accept them but I've had no trouble using mine online so far. : )

Answer 3

The fee is taken out at the time when you use it.
