Visa Gift Card

Can you put the money on the card at the checkout in the store which you purchase the card from, or must this be done online? I am trying to put the money on a card, all i have is cash, i do not own credit cards.

Funds "reload" polices vary substantially. Keep in mind that many Visa gift cards lack them altogether: after you buy them, no more money can be put on them.

Why not open a free bank account? That would allow you to reload the gift cards which allow for doing so without applying for credit.

Is this helpful?
