Prepaid Visa Gift Cards – How to Use Your Card:

1. What is a Prepaid Visa Gift Card (Physical Card)

A physical prepaid Visa gift card is a plastic card loaded with a fixed dollar amount.
Use it anywhere in the U.S. that accepts Visa (swipe, insert, or tap).
You can’t reload it, withdraw cash, or move the money to a bank account.

A prepaid Visa or Mastercard is an excellent gift for Christmas or for a birthday.

2. Activating your Prepaid Visa gift card

Look on the back of your new Mastercard or Visa gift card for a website, a toll-free phone number, and an activation code (under scratch-off):

  • Online: visit the website and enter the card number, expiration date, CVV, and activation code or ZIP.
  • Phone: call the number and follow the prompts to enter the same details.

3. Logging in

Each time you manage the card, go to the issuer’s website shown on the back and enter the
16-digit card number, expiration date, CVV, and ZIP (if asked).

4. Checking your Visa Gift Card Balance & Transactions

  • Website: shows balance and recent transactions after you log in.
  • Mobile wallet: some wallets display the remaining balance.
  • Phone: call the toll-free number and choose “Check Balance.”
  • In-store: some cashiers can run a $0 balance inquiry.

5. Tips

  • Take a photo of the card details in case it’s lost.
  • Register a ZIP code before shopping online.
  • Inactivity fees (about $4.95) start after 12 months with no use—make small purchases to avoid them.
  • For partial balances, ask the cashier for a split payment (most websites can’t do this).
  • If lost or stolen, call support immediately; replacement usually costs about $5.

6. What’s a Prepaid Visa eGift Card?

A Visa eGift Card is a virtual Visa debit card you keep on your phone.
Use it for tap-to-pay in stores that accept contactless Visa and for shopping
online anywhere in the U.S. that takes Visa.

  • Not an ATM card and can’t be turned into cash (unless state law requires it).
  • Every purchase comes right out of its balance—no overdrafts.
  • Pro tip: Screenshot or write down the 16-digit card number,
    expiry date, CVV (3-digit code), and the 19-digit ID shown at the bottom of the eGift page.
    Customer support will ask for these if anything goes wrong.

7. How do I add my Card to Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or Samsung Wallet?

  1. Open your phone’s Wallet app.
  2. Tap Add Card (wording may differ).
  3. Manually type in the 16-digit number, CVV, and expiry date.

Steps look a little different on each platform, but the basics are the same.

8. Do I need to register the card for online shopping?

Yes, many websites (and phone / mail orders) require you to register the card with a name and an addresss before use.

If you’re paying through your mobile wallet, the address already saved
there usually covers you.9

9. Are there any fees on Prepaid Visa Gift Cards?

  • Inactivity fee: $4.95 per month after 12 months of no use.
    Make a purchase and the 12-month clock resets.
  • Replacement fee: Lost the card? It’s $5 to email you a new one
    (no charge if it just expired).

Avoid fees by spending from the card every so often.

10. Does Prepaid Visa Gift Cards expire?

The card stops working when the balance hits $0 or the
“valid thru” date passes—whichever comes first.
Still have money left but the date’s up? Call the support number on the card.
They’ll email you a fresh card with the same balance for free.
