They are definitely supposed to work online as well as in the store. Was this the first purchase you had tried to make with it? You may have to call the number on the back of the card and activate it before it is ready for use. Also, if your purchase was for more than the $50 amount on the card you may have to pay the difference by another methold then try using the card to pay the remainder. If you have tried all of this call the customer service number on the back of the card and let them know it is not working for you to make your purchase online and they will walk you through steps of correcting the problem.

It depends on the Card. Some "Gift" cards even though they have a VISA logo are only good at specific locations. This is most common with the Gift Cards sold by Shopping Malls. They are only allowed to be used at the stores in their particluar mall. If this is the case you MAY be able to book it with that number, but if you try to pay on the room they will not accept it. You have to check the terms of the Gift Card it will let you know if you can do something like this. Also, if it does allow On-Line purchases it will give you the verification information to enter in such as the Billing Zip Code.

I recieved a visa gift card for Christmas too, the little paper that came with it sent me to this website that you could check your balance with, as well as register the card.
When you purchase something online with a credit card it checks the address to make sure it's the same as the one that's registered with the card.
So read the card again, check and see if there's a number to call or a website to register it online so you can make purchases online.
Otherwise you'll just have to go to the store and do it there.

with the visa gift card the amount you are spending has to be less then the amount on the card. call the number on the back to see if they can tell you how to do this online

Visa Gift Cards are the best and you can get one for free from
http://urlx.org/directtrack.com/f70d9 . All you have to do is fill out the survey and you will receive one. I got my visa gift card from that site and it is working really well for
me.

it happened to me too...you have to enter in the exact amount that is on the card for the machine to recognize it. for example..even if you were only spending 13 dollars, you have to put in the full card amount for 50 dollars

I don't believe you can use it online. You may have to call customer service to use it at on online store.
