Default Re: The official EPASSPORTE thread.

coachkf:

not trying to pick on you, but since this thread is to provide answers and not guesses...



question:

[ QUOTE ]
With ePassporte, can you deposit on sites that support Visa but not ePassporte? After all, it is a virtual visa...

[/ QUOTE ]



you tell them:

[ QUOTE ]
Yes. If it accepts Visa, you can use your virtual visa card (or real visa card if you have one mailed to you for $35).

[/ QUOTE ]


i posted to you:

[ QUOTE ]
i am pretty sure that this is incorrect.

neither will work, at least at gambling sites, if they are not set up for epassporte...

and i am 100% sure that the physical/real visa card that is mailed to you will not work online anywhere. it is swipe transactions only.

[/ QUOTE ]


then you write:

[ QUOTE ]
You're correct about the physical visa. I just got it in the mail today.

[/ QUOTE ]


if that was the case, how were you able to tell the questioner he could use the physical card?

not from experience.





then in your reply to my saying that if a gambling site wasnt set up for epassporte it wouldnt work, you answer with this:


[ QUOTE ]
...here's the info on the virtual visa, straight from their FAQ:

"I'd like to make a purchase at a website that does not show ePassporte as a payment option. May I still purchase from this site? "

"If VISA is listed as one of the accepted payment methods you may use your ePassporte Visa Virtual number to make a purchase."

[/ QUOTE ]



if you have personal experience with having the virtual visa work at gambling sites that are not set up with epassporte, please let us know the particulars, i.e., what site, when, etc.. this information would actually be of help.


while i appreciate your enthusiasm, just guessing and quoting webite information is not really going to help anyone sort out the facts as to what they actually can and cannot do.



p.s. my answers were based on personal experience with epassporte. however, i realize that there are anomalies, which could make such anecdotal.
