What if the value of the purchase I want to make is greater than the value/balance on the Visa Gift Card?

In-store purchases: If your purchase is larger than your balance, ask the cashier to swipe the gift card for the exact amount available on the card. Then pay the remaining balance with another form of payment. These are called “split transactions.” Some merchants do not allow cardholders to carry out split transactions. Some merchants will only allow you to do a split transaction if you pay the remaining amount in cash.

Online purchases:  Online merchants don’t have the capabilities to perform split credit transactions
