How To Donate w/ Visa Prepaid Giftcards through Paypal!

Hey Everyone just a guide how to Donate if you don't have a credit card:
What is a Visa Prepaid Giftcard?
It is basically a giftcard that can be used anywhere that accepts Visa Credit Cards. When a person purchases the giftcard, he/she has to specify the amount of money he/she wants to be loaded onto the card.
Banks usually have cards that can be loaded any amount of money. Retail stores usually have preset amounts for cards; the most common ones being $25 and $50. There is a small fee that needs to be paid when buying the card; most of the time, it is $5.95 or $7.95, it really depends on where you buy one.

Donating with Visa Giftcards has a great advantage: on the Prepaid Terms and Conditions, it says that there is no minimum age requirement for purchasing or using the giftcard. That means anyone can use it!

Step 1: Purchasing the card.
Purchase a Visa Giftcard from a retail store or from a bank. Not all banks or stores sell them, so use this link to help find a store near you!

Step 2: Activating the card.
Once you buy the card, call the number that is on the back of it. The number on mine is 1-866-496-6183, but it might be different for you.
The person on the phone will ask you to dial the 16-digit card number. Do this without making any mistakes. The person on the phone will tell you your card balance. Wait until he/she tells you about speaking to a representative.
Press the number that allows you to speak with a representative. Once you are greeted, tell him/her that you would like to register your card. They will ask you for your card number, name, & address.
When you are done, wait at least 1 hour before moving on to the next step.



Step 3: Linking the card to Paypal.
If you have completed Step 2 correctly, then the representative should have told you to wait an hour before making online purchases with the card. If you have waited at least 1 hour, then proceed.
Go to www.paypal.com and sign up for a new account. If you already have an account, then click "Add a new card" to link it.
Fill in all the information needed and click "Add Card."

If you have trouble finding "Add Card", hover your mouse over "Profile"


If you got the following error message from Paypal, then you have not waited long enough or the has not finished registering. Either way, you might just want to wait a few more hours or even days.
Error message: "This credit card has been denied by the bank that issued your credit card. For details on why your card was denied, please contact your credit card issuer's customer service department. Or, you may want to try adding a different credit card."



Step 4: Complete your donation.
Once you have linked the card to your Paypal account, you may now PM Mike and ask how to donate with Paypal.
