Visa/Amex gift cards?

Can you use these to shop online?

Where do you buy them?

Probably. I know you can get them at the bank. I also read somewhere that if you buy one at Wal Mart there is a fee and not one if you go to the bank. *Of course it's all true, I read it on the internet!!*

Walgreen's used to carry them.

I've bought them at the store before, but you do have like a 4 or 5 dollar charge just to buy it. I don't know about the bank thing.

I ran into problems recently because there is no way to cross reference the card to valid acct. info. Many places online apparently have that feature built into the online software and won't let the order process.

Definitely read the back because some of them charge ridiculous fees.

I gave up on giftcards and just give cash.

It won't cost me any extra to give what I was giving in the first place, and EVERYWHERE takes cash.(if you buy online, then deposit)

You can get them at the grocery store and Shoppers Drug Mart. As far as using it online I'm not sure. But like others have said some of them have some crazy charges. The charges are so unreal I don't think I would ever use one. Most stores now sell the store gift cards as well on the same rack. Just depends on where you want to shop online.
