What is a Vanilla Visa gift card?

Vanilla Visa gift cards offer customers a simple way to give money that can be spent anywhere that accepts Visa debit cards for payment. Purchasers can load these cards in denominations of $25, $50 or $100, but they can't be reloaded after the receiver spends the balance.

Uses for Vanilla Visa gift cards include signature transactions or debit purchases once the user sets up a PIN. These cards work just like any other Visa debit card, and they can be used to purchase items at brick-and-mortar retailers, by phone or when shopping online. Cardholders can check their balances at the official Vanilla Visa website or by calling 1-800-571-1376.
