Guest Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 hey guys since i cant get a credit card at the moment i was wondering this: can i go to the store and get one of those 50 prepaid visa cards... the only thing is that its not a real card for example where your name is it says: A GIFT FOR YOU... so yeah i dont want to go to the store and get this and then find out i cant use it because there are know refunds and im not the richest person in the world to be spending money.. especially now Link to comment
abenas Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 yep. no problem at all. Link to comment
sarah_ab Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'm not sure if you could use it on something lik Xp medical, because it doesn't have your name on it.. but your best bet would be to contact XP medical thorugh email, or phone and ask them directly.. say i have this gift card i got and i wanted to order some products from your website, but as it doesn't have my name on it, cause its a giftcard i wasn't sure if i could use it... then you would know for sure.

redneck diaper boy Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Give them a call and ask them. Usually they just need a number and an expiration date. I have used my VISA debit card at XP Medical. hey guys since i cant get a credit card at the moment i was wondering this: can i go to the store and get one of those 50 prepaid visa cards... the only thing is that its not a real card for example where your name is it says: A GIFT FOR YOU... so yeah i dont want to go to the store and get this and then find out i cant use it because there are know refunds and im not the richest person in the world to be spending money.. especially now Link to comment
underwhere Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 It depends on their credit card authorization system. Some systems require a match of a name to a credit card number while others are a bit more lax. Those which require an actual name be attached to the card will give you some hassle. I agree with the earlier advice that the best way to find out is to call the merchant, in this case, XP Medical. Link to comment
AZDiapers Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have used a visa giftcard before with xpmedical, I ordered some samples, and it worked perfectly fine from the xpmedical side, just have to make sure that it is registered on any website that the card goes through, found on the back, for example mine was gift2go.net After that it can be used just like any card.

Diaper666 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 most companies ive dealt with have allowed the use of prepaid visa's just ask them before you go and buy your product Link to comment
