How To Use xmas 60% Discounted Gift Cards?
Step 1: Verify Legitimacy and Balance (BEFORE Spending)
This step is critical to protect yourself from potentially fraudulent or already-used cards.
1. Identify the Specific Brand and Issuer
Determine exactly what brand the gift card is for (e.g., $100 Amazon, $100 Visa, etc.). The card must be used on the platform of the issuing brand.
2. Check the Balance IMMEDIATELY
Do this as soon as you receive the card, before attempting a purchase.
Find Official Check Site: Look on the back of the physical card or in the e-gift card email for the official website address or toll-free phone number to check the balance.
Verify Balance: Use the official link or number to check the balance using the card number and PIN. If the card shows a zero balance, or if the website/number doesn’t work, contact the seller immediately and ask for a refund.
3. Register the Card (If Applicable)
If it is a general-purpose card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), go to the official card issuer’s website (found on the card) and register a billing address to prevent issues with online transactions.
Step 2: Redeem the Card (The Spending Process)
Once you have verified the full balance, you can use the card like any other:
For Store-Specific Cards (e.g., Amazon, Netflix, Chipotle):
Redeem to Account (Recommended): If the retailer allows it (like Amazon, Netflix, or Xbox), apply the full gift card code to your online account balance immediately. This transfers the value off the card and makes it a permanent part of your shopping account.
Where to find the redemption option: Usually in the Account or Payment section of the retailer’s app or website.
Use at Checkout: If the retailer does not allow account loading (like Walmart or Ticketmaster), enter the Card Number and PIN in the Gift Card/Voucher field during the payment stage of checkout.
For General-Use Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex):
Select Payment: At the online or in-store checkout, choose Credit or Debit Card (do NOT choose Gift Card).
Enter Details: Enter the 16-digit card number, expiration date, and CVV/security code.
Address Match: If using online, ensure the billing address you enter matches the address you registered in Step 1.
Split Payment: If your purchase is more than $100, you must tell the cashier/website the exact amount you want to take off the gift card first, and then pay the rest separately.
A Word of Caution on Deep Discounts: While you may have found a genuine deal, a discount as large as 60% carries a significant risk of fraud (stolen credit cards used to buy the gift card, or “card draining”).
Protect Yourself: Use the card as quickly as possible after verifying the balance. If the original purchase is reversed due to fraud, the gift card balance may be canceled.
Keep Records: Keep the original card/email and the purchase receipt from the discount seller.
