Register it online before you can use it online
I needed to spend some money on a credit card that has a UK billing address, which can be difficult as a lot of online stores don't allow foreign billing addresses. And most sites that sell Visa gift cards also don't accept foreign billing addresses themselves. But Amazon does, so I bought this Visa gift card on Amazon, paid for it with the UK card, problem solved.<br /><br />I didn't use this card in any physical stores, so I can't speak to that experience. I received it today, immediately registered it at the URL that's on the back of the card (top right, small text). You need to register it online first to be able to make purchases with it online (this is how you set your name and billing address on it, which you would need for any online order).<br /><br />I then used it on Etsy.com and Mouth.com for purchases that came close to the $100. I then used it to reload my Amazon gift card balance in the amount that I had left. I then checked my balance again at the same website where I had registered it, and indeed it showed my three transactions and correct zero balance. No problems at any point.
