Using Your Gift Card
When using a card towards a purchase, please do the following (Items 1-7):
- Have the cashier determine the total amount of the purchase, including taxes, shipping & handling, etc.
- First - pay the amount that is in excess of your Prepaid Card balance (if any) - with cash, credit card or check.
- Next - have the cashier process the balance with your Prepaid card using it as a signature based (credit) product.
- Please be aware - any purchase that exceeds the balance on your card will be declined.
- Some merchants may not accept "split" transactions: (as in 2 & 3 above) for example, paying part of the purchase with this card and the balance with another form of payment such as a credit card, cash, etc .....
- Gasoline purchase - this Prepaid Card cannot be used for "Pay at the Pump" transactions. You must take your Prepaid Card inside to the cashier.
- Restaurant Use (see below *)
* Restaurant Use
When using this card at a restaurant, an "up charge" of up to 25% will be automatically calculated and "temporarily" added to the total amount of the bill when authorized through their credit card terminal. This ensures that you have funds available to cover the total bill plus tip. Your account will not be charged the calculated "up charge" should you choose to pay the tip in cash. To avoid any problems with the temporary "up charge" at the time of authorization, make sure the total amount of the bill does not exceed 70% of the existing balance on your Prepaid Card.
