I wanted to make a video about how to
0:01
turn a Visa gift card into cash some
0:03
people will try to use a Visa gift card
0:05
to buy a money order while this seems
0:07
like a good idea those really long terms
0:09
and service that came with your gift
0:11
card often say that that's not allowed
0:13
and also a lot of the Money Services
0:15
places will not accept prepaid gift
0:17
cards to buy money orders I also tried
0:19
to add my gift card to the cash app as
0:21
my debit card it failed I tried to add
0:23
it to venmo as a payment method to send
0:25
money to my friend who would then send
0:27
it back to me that got declined we're
0:29
going to try another method and hope
0:30
this one works follow me to the end of
0:32
this video this time the method is to
0:34
use your PayPal account now before you
0:36
do this make sure that you have
0:37
registered your Visa gift card to your
0:39
own address you're going to do that
0:41
through the gift cards website check the
0:42
instructions for your Visa gift card so
0:44
on mine I go to my gift card mall and
0:47
I'm going to register after your gift
0:48
card is registered to your address
0:50
you're going to be able to use it online
0:52
because it'll have your ZIP code
0:53
associated with it so you're going to go
0:55
on your computer or your phone and log
0:57
into your PayPal account so then you're
0:59
going to go up to your profile and click
1:00
on account settings then click on money
1:02
Banks and cards then scroll down to link
1:04
a new card so I'm going to take this
1:06
card and enter it here remember that the
1:08
security code is that three-digit code
1:10
that's usually by the signature line go
1:12
back to your PayPal homepage now that
1:14
I've got the Visa gift card connected to
1:16
my account from my main PayPal page I'll
1:18
click on send money now I need to choose
1:20
someone that I can send it to that I can
1:21
trust this is a different account of
1:23
mine I'm going to try to send the whole
1:25
$50 balance of this card and I can see
1:27
this one right here is the Visa debit
1:29
card that mat matches up with my gift
1:30
card I'm going to choose that one and it
1:32
says the fee is $0 now because the
1:34
account I'm sending it to is my business
1:36
account it is saying that there's going
1:38
to be a fee paid by the person receiving
1:39
the money but I'm not paying a fee it's
1:42
saying I'm sending my whole $50 let's
1:44
see if this works so now I'm going to
1:47
log in my business account to see what
1:48
it looks like on the other side and you
1:50
can see there was a fee on my account
1:53
$48.50 in cash that I can now transfer
1:56
to my bank account this was way harder
1:58
than I thought it was going to be I
2:00
think the moral of the story is if you
2:02
have a Visa gift card it's really just
2:04
best to spend it at a store instead of
2:05
trying to convert it to cash if there's
2:07
another way that you know to do this
2:09
please leave it in the comments below
2:10
and I will make a video for you guys and
