Solution
For everywhere a credit card can’t go
Gift cards let you shop online and in store without a credit card. Buy from the brands you want, in countries where merchants won’t bill your card.
The challenge
The card is declined
Many merchants won’t bill to Bermuda and much of Latin America, so checkout fails.
Not everyone has a card
Teens, contractors and new arrivals often can’t get one, or can’t use it abroad.
Fees stack up
Foreign exchange and processing fees add up on every overseas purchase.
