Q. Why did my VISA Gift Card transaction get declined?

A. Your transaction could have been declined for some of the following reasons:

• If the amount of an ATM withdrawal, including fees, exceeds the Visa Gift Card balance the transaction will be declined.

• The merchant was not notified that a split sale/purchase was desired.

• The cardholder did not know the card balance on the VISA Gift Card.

• If the cardholder address is not correct, online purchases cannot be made.

• “Pay-at-the-Pump” transactions, car rentals, and airlines will NOT be approved.

Other helpful hints:

When a purchase at a merchant gets declined the merchant DOES NOT know the reason. ATM withdrawals are declined due to either choosing the option for credit card, or the balance on the gift card is insufficient to cover the desired AND the fee charged by the ATM owner.
