    It keeps saying the credit card is not valid, or something of those lines. I have already registered, but it is not working. Can someone please help me?

    Is it because there is not an option for debit card? Because it always says credit card, and on the card it says debit card. :?:

    I'm an expert at this. :D

    I've had this problem before. Usually, Visa Gift Cards don't work with anything that needs verification because gift cards are anonymous. To fix this, make a PayPal account and add your gift card as one of the cards. Then donate with PayPal.

    How do I add gift card to one of my cards? I have an account, but I just don't have any cards on it.

    Gift cards are classified as "credit cards" when you use PayPal. Under "My Account", scroll over "Profile" and click "Update Card" to add a card in PayPal.

    Also, Visa Giftcards may take a while to activate and process through. So, try later on in the week.

    It didn't take me any time to activate and process through. Just make a PayPal account, add it in, and you're set. It just takes time for the money to return to your card after you receive a refund.

    Does it connect with PayPal? If it connects with PayPal and buying the account doesn't work, then ask someone to buy it for you and pay it back via PayPal. That's what I did. If it doesn't connect with PayPal, you have a problem. Try contacting Visa or the place where you bought it if this is the problem.

    If you bought it from CVS, it should have already been activated. You should have gotten an activation receipt in addition to your CVS receipt.

    I know. That is the problem. On the website it says it is credited with 50$ but it does not verify with paypal. I really want to donate more.

    Are you sure? If it says $50 in Go Wallet, it should already be activated. I might be able to help you if you post a picture of the page you got declined on. Just remember to white out the card information and your account name.
