How to Design Your Own Visa Gift Card
Using plastic to purchase goods and services was once reserved for credit-card purchases. The rise in debit cards, valid for purchases wherever Visa is accepted, has made card-based purchases common online and in retail shops. Visa gift cards are special-purpose debit cards that use a predetermined credit limit. Visa gift cards allow the card bearer to make purchases anywhere Visa cards are accepted. For special occasions and loved ones, Visa gift cards can be customized with a variety of options.
