I pulled the carpet off the tack strip on the bottom of the stairs to try and see if I could get a gift card that my son slipped under the stairs. I cannot get the carpet to stay down even though I keep pressing it down daily. What do I need to stay down?

you have to retack the carpet, you will need a kicker and a carpet chisel.
the kicker to grab and stretch the carpet over the tackstip at the edge and crotch and the chisel to tuck it at the crotch.
the crotch is the corner where the tread and riser meet.
