Just activated your MyGift Visa or Mastercard and wondering how to use it for online shopping?
Follow these easy steps to make sure your card works on sites like Amazon, PayPal, Uber, and more.
✅ Step-by-Step: Use MyGift Online
1. Activate Your Card
Before anything, activate your card at:
🔗 giftcardmall.com/mygift
Or call 📞 1-877-322-4710
2. Register ZIP Code
To make the card work online, you must register a ZIP code for AVS (Address Verification System).
Without this, most online merchants will decline the card.
✅ Go to: giftcardmall.com/mygift
➡️ Register ZIP → Wait ~15 minutes
3. Know Your Exact Balance
Visit: giftcardmall.com/mygift
Check balance → Use card only up to that amount
Tip: Most cards do not support split payments online
4. Use On Supported Sites
Popular websites that usually accept MyGift cards:
- 🛒 Amazon (as gift card balance)
- 🚗 Uber / Lyft
- ☕ Starbucks app
- 🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Steam (via PayPal)
- 🏪 Walmart, Target.com
💳 How to Add to Amazon
- Go to Amazon.com/reload
- Enter amount equal to your card balance
- Use card as payment method
- Now spend your gift card balance freely on Amazon!
💡 Extra Tips
- Use exact amount — even $0.01 over = decline
- If declined, check for AVS mismatch
- Add card to PayPal, then pay indirectly
- If one site declines, try another — not all merchants process prepaid the same
