4 quick notes when using a prepaid Visa card

1. You must register your card to check the balance.

If you’ve already registered the card, you can skip this step, and simply log in. You will need to wait at least 24 hours after purchasing your card to activate it and/or check your balance.

2. Depending on the issuer, the terms of the card may vary, as does the process for checking your balance.

You can purchase a prepaid Visa card from a variety of vendors, including online or in person. Due to certain promotions or various factors, it’s possible that you may need to check the terms and conditions of the card to know exactly where you can spend your money, and where you can’t.

3. Check your prepaid Visa card for expiry dates!

Make sure to check if there is an expiry date on the card as well. Most prepaid cards don’t expire, but it’s possible depending on your supplier that the card may expire! Be sure to check your balance and spend your Visa money before the card expires.

4. Buying items online may not always work, depending on the service you are using to make your purchase.

Occasionally, people experience difficulties trying to make purchases online. Some online services don’t accept a prepaid credit card as a valid form of payment, even though they accept credit card payments. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this problem, as it is up to the service if they want to accept prepaid cards or not. If there is something you really want to buy and are having trouble, it could be a temporary technical issue, so try contacting the customer service department to see if you can get assistance.
