Post by: Cookie on January 24, 2009, 07:53:52 PM

Look on the back. There should be a web site to go to.

a visa debit card?

so its just a card with the set amount of 50 dollars on it?

i'd imagine it would have a pin number or something like that so you wouldn't be able to use it anyways. unless its like a gift card. akudood;

You'd actually drain someone's bank account like that? If it's a debit card you can't find out "how much is on it" unless you know the person's bank and account number.

Of course, that doesn't mean you can't scan it when buying something. But you'd have to be an asshole to actually do that.

I don't get what you mean by "$50 on it" though. You mean it has a purchase limit or whatever of $50? But since it's a debit that still doesn't really make sense. It should just be linked with an account.

Assuming it has a dollar amount printed on the front, it's a gift card, and since it was on the floor, it's most likely empty.

As for checking the balance just in case, there should be a site on the back. If not, try gift2go.net.

It's a Visa Gift card for $50 blah. It says debit on the side so I was thinking debit.

Oh.

Then use the site Bassir recommended or any site you can find on the card.

\That's happened to me at least 20 times.

Also, I have 13 (THIRTEEN) $5 gift cards to Toys R Us because for some reason my aunts buy them as party favors for their kids' birthday parties. I would buy something with it but they only let you use 5 at a time. ;-;

ALSO. another Toys R' Us related dilemma, I lost the reciept for Baroque so now I can't return it and now I'm stuck with a  shitty game. ;-;
