Why was my online purchase with a prepaid card declined?

Prepaid cards can be used like a credit or debit card. And they can be declined for many reasons including:

• You don’t have enough money left on your card.
• You haven’t activated or registered your card.
• The address you gave to make an online or phone purchase is different from the address you have on file with your prepaid card provider.
• The provider does not have your zip code on file, so it wouldn’t match the zip code given at purchase.
• The purchase was flagged as suspicious and triggered a fraud alert.
• You have exceeded the card’s daily or monthly spending limits

Check your cardholder agreement or contact your card provider’s customer service number for more information or assistance.
