VIP Member Gift Card Payment Question

Hello,

Thank you in advance. I Keep asking questions.

wanted to become VIP member here and see that one can make payment by Gift cards. However, the gift cards that I saw at Walmart/Target had 16 digits whereas TER wants cards with 15 digits.

Wondering what I'm missing here.

Thanks,

That is what I'm thinking. Store gift cards will work only if it is an e-Gift card it seems.

Not trying to question you but I tried using Target and Walmart Store Gift Card and got an error of entering 16 digits instead of 15.  

Is it possible that you perhaps used an e-Gift card instead of a physical gift card?

If you used a physical gift card then can you look at the card number and see how many digits it has?

Thanks

The service is handled by paygarden.com.  They have an FAQ.
    Which gift card should I buy to make sure it works with PayGarden?
    Why is PayGarden not accepting my gift card?
    Do you accept "e-gift cards"?
Etc.

When you decide to pay, you must link via TER for the payment to be properly credited to TER and your TER account

That is true, but they also note a bunch of brands that will work with their system, while at the same time stating that Best Buy and Target -gift Cards work best.

Further, many people have stated that they've used store cards such as Starbucks to pay for VIP and I was wondering if that is still the case now (things change too fast in these things

Search Newbie and General for paygarden

There was a recent thread (August) on paying by gift card and I posted paygarden info. As I recall, their website was having a glitch and the guy's card went thru when he tried a few hours (or days?) later.  

The redemption value of gift cards is somewhat volatile. There are websites that try to rank current values (google it). I mean, if everyone is trying to unload their Omaha Steaks GC but nobody is buying Omaha Steaks GC, the redemption companies are going to pay less (per dollar) because they have to try to re-sell the card at a deeper discount.

They weren't e-cards. I purchased them in their respective stores. I no longer have them so I'm not sure how many numbers they contained.  

I can't help but think that there is no industry standard amongst vendors when it comes to their gift card numbering as opposed to Visa and MasterCard who require 16 digits, so they must vary.

I suspect that the issue is at your end but I have no idea what it could be.

Fandango

I used a Fandango gift card for VIP. That works.

Cannot talk about others as I did not use them.
