What is a Visa Gift Card? A Visa Gift Card is a prepaid card that can be used to make purchases at various merchants, both online and in physical stores. It works similarly to a regular Visa debit or credit card, but it is preloaded with a specific amount of money. The card can be used until the balance is depleted or expired. Visa Gift Cards are often given as gifts or used as an alternative to carrying cash. They provide flexibility and convenience for making purchases, including on popular online platforms like Amazon.
