Does anybody know if I can use a Visa gift card through the PWS? I was given a $100 Visa Gift Card to get more PC stuff for myself but the gift card is in my name....Can I do an individual order through my own PWS and use that gift card?

TIA!

Karen
 
I don't see why not. You may have to find out how to register a shipping address for the card so that the Zip code you enter matches that on the card.
 
I've taken a few for regular shows so I don't know why not. Just put in the customer's zip code when it asks.
 
Shhh! I've paid for orders with my personal credit card before. I just made sure my name and not the customers was on it for the payment info. And you can't put it in as "consultant gift" when you do it that way.
 
, as a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can assure you that you can absolutely use a Visa gift card through your PWS! Simply add the items you wish to purchase to your cart, and when checking out, select the option to pay with a gift card. You will then be prompted to enter the gift card information, including your name, and the remaining balance will be applied to your order. Happy shopping and enjoy your new PC items!
