VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Are these still available at larger Tescos & Sainsburys?
If not, where?

Minimum purchase is £25?

Is there an address that needs to be attached to it or is it like Entrop*y (no address)?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Yes they are available at most supermarkets.

£25 plus a £2.95 activation fee.

You will want to register them in your stealth details.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

depends which branch you go to, but definately seen them at my 2 tescos....

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

How long does it take for the small payment (+ 4 digit code) to be shown on the card.
Is it 2-3 days?

Certain prepaid cards are instant - can see payment + code in "Pending transactions"

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

All of them in my experience are instant

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

They are instant

You can also pick some up in Boots.

Tried to enter an address in My Profile but get error message:

Enter valid address
Enter valid Zip/Postal Code

(tried 2 addresses - both valid - matches to Royal Mail database)

Is there anything else I need to do?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

You need to delete the space in the postcode sometimes for it to go through

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

No joy

Have tried spaces/no space, capitals, every permutation...get same error message

Only good thing is I can still buy stuff without entering a reg'd address

Are there any other gift cards available from shops OTHER than the Vanilla card?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Yep most shops have different types just have a look around

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

What do you ask for when looking for them?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Sorry to say that as usual, most of the time the staff in the shops aint got a Scooby so you are more than likely going to have to look/find them yourself.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Just ask where all the gift cards are. They should know what you mean by that

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

I found them in boots/sainsbury/wallmart and morrisons thanks.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Did you find any VISA gift card which was NOT Vanilla VISA card?

If so what is the name of the card?
Cost?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

They are all around £25.

Each shop has its own range of cards that they sell. Just have a look in each superstore to see what they have in stock

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

I don't get this gift card thing .. how do u find out what the card number and details are ? the ones I have seen are just plain with silly picture on but no numbers on or anything

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Its not a Tesco gift card you want

Its a MasterCard or VISA gift card you want

They will display the VISA or MasterCard logo on the front

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Going to Tesco's and Salisbury tomorrow.. will report back lol :)

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

I found Vanilla/ilovemygiftcard/gospendit locally. They all seem to verify paypal. What is the issue with Vanilla?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

I remember 10 or so years ago you could buy a PayPal visa card in the SPAR .. and open a paypal account with it..

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

They would confirm a PayPal

Only a bank account can be used to verify a PayPal in the UK :thumb:

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

I managed to find one ,which is great .. they do say they are no re-loadable though which is a shame.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

do they have a PIN number ?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

hey guys think its time i helped out too. you dont have to spend £25+
to get a gift card with a vcc on the back..
just get a mastercard giftcard..
from https://www.theirperfectgift.co.uk/

they start from £3.99
delivered.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

@Chango - Some do have PIN numbers, others dont.
@Zulkyg - If only it were so cheap and cheerful. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

The two main options for VCCs are
1. Supermarkets, where it costs around £25.
2. Aspkin Marketplace, where you can get it for around £10.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

What a heck... I live in London and spent two days going into supermarkets looking for these... They don't sell them ANYWHERE!

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

plenty of choice in our local Tesco Extra store, im in the West Midlands.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

In my experience all supermarkets stock them. Usually on a big display.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Yep, I seen them in the supermarkets in the gift card section.

Man, spending 2 days hunting for these things must have been frustrating.
Maybe easier/cheaper to get one of the sellers on here :)

Oh, I am in London too - its full of idiots!!!! help :)
eg. go into any store/shop and ask them about one of their products and they don't have a clue - no product knowledge of what they are selling - even in pc world.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

i bought a gift card from argos today. the company issuing beleive it or not is called epay. the expiry years is 2020 some time but the card has a life for 2 years after I register it. also it mentions a renewal fee of £3 I will call them on monday to get the lowdown. this is for an existing account. the entropay card runs out in january 2017. wen it expires is it necessary for me to add a new card ? the account has all limits lifted ?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Visa gift cards are in tesco in derbyshire

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Ideally, it looks good to pp if you have a valid card on file.
If you want the account to last it is better to keep the card updated.

To get all limits lifted on uk pp I think you have to add a card, add a bank and send in id docs.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

How much for the card, and for activation? Do you need to reg it with actual details?

Thanks.

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

Anyone else tried this yet?

What is your feedback if so?

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

They do work in RE to adding them to eBay and PayPal but you cannot get the PayPal code from them so they cannot be used to confirm the PayPal

Re: VISA gift cards - available where?
 

I have ebay fees of £700 to pay, can these gift cards be loaded with that much?
