Can the Gift Card be used if its Available Balance does not cover the total purchase price?
Depending on the Merchants policy, you may be able to use the Card with another form of payment, such as cash, check or another card, to make a purchase. This is known as a Split Tender Transaction. To make a purchase for more than the Available Balance on the Gift Card: 1. Present the Gift Card for payment and tell the cashier it is a gift card. 2. Tell the cashier the Available Balance and ask whether another form of payment will be accepted for the balance of the purchase. 3. Before the Gift Card is swiped, tell the cashier to only authorize the Gift Card for the Available Balance. 4. If the Gift Card is declined, remind the cashier of the Available Balance. 5. Be prepared to provide a second form of payment to cover the balance of your purchase. Some Merchants may only allow you to use cash or check, but not another card, as the second form of payment. Some Merchants do not permit a second form of payment at all. We do not guarantee that a Merchant will permit a Split Tender Transa
