Guild Wars 2

I have a gift card visa that has been lying around and decided to use it on gems but it keeps declining. I went to check the balance of the gift card and it has money on it. So I am not sure how to use it for a gem purchase. Is it because it does not have a name and address associated with it?

I have often found that Visa gift cards have trouble getting used online. There are high levels of fraud that are associated with them so a lot of online merchants don’t take them.

Gem cards are available at brick and mortar stores like Gamestop and Best Buy. You could always buy the gem card from them with the visa gift card.

Ok thanks I will do that after the holidays I guess

I used a giftcard to buy some Gems during the 3rd beta weekend but I dont know if they accept it now. I think the personal checklist such as the address and phone number are not required to be on the card. But I think it would be much easier to just buy a gem card.

Yes you can. Tested and confirmed by me during the beta.

What did you put in for the name and address?

What did you put in for the name and address?

w/e you put in when you register your card online.

If you use prepaid mastercard, then for name just put For (first name) You (last name) and w/e for address.

hmm it was a gift card I did not have to register it just spend it :P

I went to the card website and registered a zip code but it was still declined

Go buy a physical gem card with it…

I use mastercard gift cards every two weeks, i use my own details and they work, for some reason they get declined 1-2 times and then they work, makes no sense to me but they do work.

There are no Gem Cards in Australia that i know of..
