Prepaid Card Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DO I USE MY PREPAID CARD?
Prepaid Cards give you the freedom to eat, shop or play at any of the merchants that appear on the front of the card. Simply present your prepaid card for food, merchandise or services at time of payment. The amount of every purchase you make will automatically be deducted from the value on the prepaid card. You are free to use the same prepaid card across multiple brands. Once the entire Card amount has been spent, it can no longer be used as a method of payment. To use the Card at a point-of-sale terminal, simply swipe the magstripe on the back of the Card and sign the receipt.
