Bought virtual gift card from giftcard.com. Declines Poker sites. HELP

cat923 · #1 07-04-2007, 02:21 AM

I bought a virtual gift card last night for $200 from giftcards.com. I used the site several times previously to fund poker sites.

Now it is declined at Stars and FTP.

I checked giftcard's T&C and it now says that it declines gambling sites.

Any suggestions as to how I get my money back or how to use the card? I tried using it to load my PayTru card, but that was declined, also.

I do not need to purchase anything. I have enough credit and debit cards.

Any suggestion appreciated.

They will give you a refund minus about $10 if you call them.

In the future check the T&C's BEFORE buying something, everytime. Next time you buy food/gas use it.

Make an online payment with it. Farmers Insurance, Verizon would all accept payment via a virtual card.

I HAD used it twice before for reloads so I assumed that it was not a problem. I checked the T&Cs after the decline. Gas and food cannot be purchased with a virtual gift card. One has to have the real plastic. It is probably only good for online purchases or catalog purchases.

I will take the suggestion of calling them and losing $10. That is a good suggestion. Thanks.
