When I tried to use VISA gift card it was declined so I ended up putting the whole balance on another card. ( I wouldn't have chosen an expensive restaurant if I didn't have the gift card)
I looked up the card info on their website mygiftcardsite.com and it said transaction pending for that restaurant, and showed only .15 balance on the card. The restaurant insisted the card had been declined.
The card company said sometimes this happens, and it may take awhile for the transcation to appear! So what merchant will accept a "transaction pending???" Of course they won't, so you end up losing all around.
This is a scam if ever I saw one. Any card should process immediately like a VISA, as that's how they advertise...can be used anywhere.
DON'T EVER BUY THEM...YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE IS A SCAM
