FAQ about Visa Gift cards

What should I do if my gift card is lost or stolen?

Report a lost or stolen card immediately to the card issuer by calling the toll-free number listed on the issuer's website or in the card documentation. You'll need to provide the lost or stolen Visa Gift card number for cancellation and replacement. Registering your card is always a good idea. Some card issuers will replace a gift card only if it's actually been registered.

My gift card was declined. What should I do?

Check to make sure there are sufficient funds on the card before making a purchase. If your purchase is declined and you believe the card has sufficient funds, please contact the card issuer at the toll-free number listed on the back of the card.

How do I give a Visa Gift card as a present?

When gifting a card, remember to give the recipient all the materials you received with the card at the time of purchase. These materials should include the issuer's terms and conditions for use. If gifting to kids or teens, review the materials together.

Is there an amount limit for a Visa Gift card?

The issuers determine the maximum amount of money a Visa Gift card can hold.

My Visa Gift card has no money. Should I throw it away?

If you're planning to return anything you purchased with the card, you'll still need the actual card. So holding onto your gift card for a period of time is a good idea.
