If I purchase a Gift Card on-line, how long does it take to receive the Card?
Your purchase will be fulfilled within 24-48 hours. Shipping will vary, depending on service selected at time of order.

Can I use my Gift Card with multiple merchants?
Yes, as long as you have a balance remaining on your Card you can use it among different merchants in the same shopping trip.

How do I check the available balance on my Gift Card?
You may obtain your Gift Card balance by:
1) Visiting the management office at Downtown Silver Spring. (no charge)
2) Visiting www.MyPrepaidCard.info (no charge)
3) Calling the interactive voice response system at 1-877-368-7530. (49¢ fee applies to the customer per call.)
4) Calling the above number and pressing the correct prompt to speak with a live customer service operator. (95¢ fee applies to the customer per call.)
5) Balances can be obtained on most merchant sales receipts after the transaction (available balance appears within the authorization code).

What if the purchase amount is more than the available balance on my Gift Card?
To make a purchase that is greater than the amount of the Available Funds, ask the cashier if they can accept two forms of payment. If the cashier agrees, pay the difference with another form of payment accepted by the merchant (many merchants can only accept cash or check as the other form of payment) and then use your Gift Card to pay the remaining balance. Not all merchants offer this as an option.

Do restaurants and salons accept the Gift Card?
Some restaurants and nail/hair salons accept the Gift Card. Typically restaurants and salons add a fixed percentage (approx. 15-25%) to the authorization amount when they swipe your Gift Card for authorization to cover the tip that would normally be added to the transaction amount. Depending on the Available Funds, the transaction may be declined if your available balance will not cover the purchase amount plus the additional authorization amount, or it may result in a “hold” for the additional amount. To avoid complications, you can generally ask the merchant to only authorize the amount you have requested. See Terms and Conditions for more details.

How do I return something purchased with my Gift Card?
Keep your purchase receipt and Gift Card in case you need to make a return. Return policies vary by store. Please inquire about the return or exchange policy when making your purchase. If the merchant issues a credit to the Gift Card, these funds may not be available to you for up to seven (7) business days. Some merchants may issue store credits for returns.

How soon can the Card be redeemed after it has been purchased?
Your Gift Card is typically activated immediately upon purchase but if system problems occur, we might not be able to activate your Card for up to two (2) business days after the date of purchase.
