Already Verified With PayPal, and then Use Visa GIft Card?

[Jaenie Crystal 2]

Hi SL Universe,

I know a thousand variations on this question have been asked, but I cannot find the answer to this exact one. I'm wondering, since I am already completely verified in SL with a verified PayPal account, would I then be able to take a Visa gift card I know I'm getting for my birthday (😁) and put it right into my SL account to then buy $L?  

Thanks!

Jaenie

No.  You are not verified.  Your PayPal account is verified.  If you want to use that prepaid card, use it to put money into your PayPal account and buy L$ with it that way.  You will not be able to verify a prepaid VISA card.

From the Knowledge Base Billing article:

Issues with prepaid and gift cards

A common cause of payment method failure is the use of unsupported card types. At this time, the majority of prepaid cards are not compatible with our system, even if they bear the VISA/AMEX/Mastercard logo. This includes cards purchased at retail stores, rechargeable credit cards, and bank-issued check cards.

talk to Paypal, I am not sure if they take prepaid cards but they might, If so then do it that way
