Someone wants to use a Visa Gift Card for payment. The name shown on the card is "A Gift for You."

Should I try to figure out a way to use the wording on the card or just use the actual purchaser's name. My main concern is that the card won't authorize if the name doesn't match, but I can't figure out how to work the name in Pampered Partner.

Thanks in advance!!
 
Could you call HO and ask or possibly your bank to ask?
 
The easiest way to do this (and really its just a PITA) is for that person to go to her bank and cash out the card or deposit the amount into her account and then pay via her regular card. OR, pay you, the consultant by Paypal, and then you order everything on your PC Debt card.
