I need a Gift Card which allows me to register both an address and zip code. I need this because I product I tried buying online does a credit card address verification match. Without which they will not sell me the product.
PLEASE HELP!

Sometimes using a credit card exposes you to a practice whereby sellers keeping charging you each month even though you have tried to cancel the subscription or the monthly shipments. If you use a visa gift card, they can’t charge you more than what’s on the card. That would stop the unwanted shipments.

I would highly advise anyone to avoid these gift cards. In Ontario Canada, the government even passed legislation to prevent companies like Visa putting expiry dates and charging fees. Yet Visa has yet to comply.
Why? Because they make a ton of money off unfortunate consumers would “save up” their cards and have no knowledge that they are losing money month after month. Think about all the young kids whose uncles and aunts give them as presents only to learn that the $25 gift card, after not being used for a year, is now worth $1. What kind of message does that send?
In my opinion, they are a scam, full stop.
Either give cash or find a store that actually practices honourable business with regards to gift cards. Visa is not one of those businesses.

Thanks for the concise list. A friend of mine needs a visa card for online purchases and was looking for a convenient place to get one – now I can let him know.

Best to you…

No, you do not need an ID unless your name is printed on the gift card

Do you need to present an ID when purchasing something with a Visa giftcard?
