A message for those who want to use a pre-paid gift card

So I just picked up a pre-paid Visa and put $150 on it to order some babies, only to have my transactions declined. Why? Because on the top right of my card it reads 'Valid only in the US.' *D'OH* So if you're getting a pre-paid Visa, make sure you can use it internationally.

I feel so dumb. Now I have a damn pointless $150 gift card to use until I run out of money on it. Sveet.

I guess I'll just use my own debit card...

I just picked up a pre-paid today and I've been trying to order from Attitude but it keeps saying payment failed. :(

I'd probably have to get an international. I wonder if I could go back to the store, get an international one, then use the regular card I have to put money on it.

make sure your entering it as a credit card and not debit , cause mine said debit on it but the instructions said if i tried to use as a debit card it would be declined, just a thought
