How do I use the Prepaid Card at Restaurants and other locations that have a TIP line in the receipt?
Please note that most restaurants have their point-of-service terminals pre-programmed to add a 15%-20% gratuity to your bill total at the time of card authorization. For your card to be accepted, the total of your bill plus the automatically added gratuity must not exceed the available balance on your Prepaid Card. For example: If you have $25 remaining on your Prepaid Card, and have a $24 restaurant bill, your Prepaid Card may be declined for that purchase because the restaurant may be trying to authorize a $30 purchase, not a $24 purchase. This issue applies to any merchant with a tip line on the receipt.
