ok... so
i bought a visa gift card last night and tried to use it.
it said i needed to give it additional money on paypal so i Xed out
i tried again just now... same card, etc.
i put charged $30 on it instead of what i tried last night ($50, its a $50 gift card)
it worked, said i had 300 silk now...
so i tried it again to charge the other $20...
same info, same card,
and it said the credit card number was not valid for this payment, please change the credit card number...
so i went back, put all same info in again, and didnt work again...

any clues to why this would happen?
thanks in advance

are you for sure it was a 50$ gift card

Try calling the number on the back of the card and make sure you have funds readily available.

When you do a transaction such as charging on a gift card. It charges you like a certain amount of money. So the first charge was $50.75 dollars. Then you charged $30.75 dollars. Now you try to charge 20 dollars you in reality you got 19.25 left in the account. Get it?

alright... thanks guys...
i tried the next day and it worked so
now tommorow have to charge the last $10. and yes, your theory is right, but i dont think i used paypal (meaning i logged onto my account), so i didnt have an extra charge put onto it.
but i could be wrong...we will see tomorrow
