access cards
Trying to build credit, thinking about a new credit card to increase my credit to debt ratio?
Question
PLEASE Help me activate my Visa gift card!?
Okay. So I have a paypal account with money in it but i couldnt access it unless i had a bank account or card, i dont have any. So searched around and heard that you can just use a gift card. So I bought a Visa gift card worth 25 dollars in Giant. its blue and white and says "aGift" and on the top left hand corner is says "Gift card mall" in a little xmas present pic. So I put it on my paypal but turns out i have to register it first or something? I check on the website on the back and it says 'giftcardmail.com/visagift' but its just a website linking me to other crap! Can comeone help me?

The first step to attempting to use a prepaid gift card on PayPal is to make sure the name and address (billing address) on your PayPal account matches the name and address on file with the gift card issuer. If you just purchased your prepaid gift card, call the card issuer and add your name and address to the card. If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card on PayPal. Once this is done, you just have to hope that PayPal is able to successfully verify your address with the gift card issuer. If they are able to verify your address, then you are all set. If they cannot verify your address with the card issuer, then you probably will not be able to use that gift card on PayPal.

No every giftcard can be used to verify your paypal account. You should make sure that your gift card can do it. And always the seller of giftcard may provide everything you need when you do some shopping or verify something.So go to ask for your card seller.Actually you should ask him first before you buy card from him.
