Trying to use your GiftCardMall MyGift Visa or Mastercard online, but your payment keeps getting declined?
Chances are, your card isn’t linked to a ZIP code — which is required for most e-commerce platforms.
🧾 Why You Must Register a ZIP Code
Most online merchants require Address Verification (AVS) to approve transactions.
If your card doesn’t have a billing ZIP, the transaction will be declined automatically.
💡 You don’t need a full address — just the ZIP code!
✅ How to Register ZIP Code for MyGift Card
- Go to: www.giftcardmall.com/mygift
- Click “Sign In” or “Register”
- Enter your card details and create an account (if needed)
- Go to “Manage Card”
- Choose “Edit Billing Address”
- Enter your ZIP code (use your real ZIP or one you’ll shop from)
- Click “Save”
🟢 Done! Now your card is ready for online shopping.
🛑 If You Skip This Step…
You may get one of these errors at checkout:
| Error Message | What It Means |

🛍️ Where ZIP Code Is Required
