In the early part of the 2000's, the online gift card market sprung up. This includes, obviously the popularity of visa gift cards. Companies like Vanilla have issued Visa Gift Cards now for years. Vanilla is a Gift Card company that offers Visa Gift Cards for sale on its website and at participating retail locations. They sell physical gift cards, and currently do not offer eGift cards. Gift cards ordered on their website can be delivered to addresses across the United States. They are not able to deliver currently to PO Boxes, APO, FPO, or international addresses. They also cannot deliver Visa Gift Cards to Vermont or Hawaii.

That is what makes this guide even more valuable. Gift Cards have become so popular, it is essential that a step-by-step guide like this exists! We are certainly very happy to help you.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Visa Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Visa in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Activate My Visa Gift Card? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
