The Vanilla Visa Card is a prepaid credit card. It allows users to purchase the card with a balance, reload with more money, and make purchases anywhere credit cards or debit cards are accepted. This is a great solution for people that cannot be approved for a regular credit card, for youth under 18, or for people who have previously struggled with credit card debt. The card can only be used if there is a balance on it, so users cannot get into debt. If you have lost access to your Vanilla Visa Card, you'll need to recover access to spend the funds.

Forgot Your Vanilla Visa Card Account Email Address
