Visa Debit Gift Card Problem.?
Ok. So i bought a visa debit gift card at the mall for $50. So it has $50 on the card. But when i tried to buy things online, it said my credit card is declined. So i checked the balance and it said i still have $50. Why does it say it was declined, if i still have $50 as my total balance?

1. Not every site takes a debit card that isn't connected in some way to your name and address. Check with the site by calling or emailing them to see if this is the problem.
2. I assume that your item costs less than $50. If it costs more, it will not take it and then ask for more money. It will just decline the sale.
It could depend on the amount of the purchase you're trying to make, including sales tax, plus shipping and handling. If that amount is over what you have available on your gift card, then the card would be declined for lack of available funds.
Did you try using a different browser like firefox or Google Chrome? Maybe you need to enter a billing address so that's why it won't take it. Good luck
First, make sure that it is capable of purchasing online (go to the website).
Second, make sure that you add in all of the tax, shipping and handling, and other additions.
I don't know how to help you after that.
