Gift Card Balances

[TitanJeff]

I added a few Visa Vanilla Gift Cards to Paypal but I am having trouble paying an order with them or seeing their balances. Is there any way to put these balances into my main account? Thanks.

No there isn't. The only balance you can see with PayPal is what you have in your PayPal balance. To check the balance of the card, you must register the card at the card website and log on to manage the card account.

Funds from cards cannot be extracted and put in to the PayPal balance. That is against PayPal User Agreement. The amount on the gift cards must be enough to cover the entire purchase or they will decline.

I see. I thought I was able to transfer the card balances to my main account.

Am I able to combine the cards to cover one purchase? Thanks.
