$100 visa gift card problem help!?

Long T

i need to know how long does it take for a gift card to relize a purchase was made and declined and
'unbill' the card alo is it possible to get the money back on a NON-RRELOADABLE card?

Answer
first most merchants will verify the card by charging a $1.00 or 2.00 (gas stations do it for a higher amount) that will fall off in a day or so
now you said the purchase was declined I think i know why you didn't register the card
online in your name on the gift card website now did you?
read the following article it help explain things when using a gift card online
Using Visa or American Express Gift Cards to Shop Online

One of the most asked gift card questions, particularly on Yahoo Answers is whether you can use a Visa or any other bank issued gift card (American Express, Discover, or MasterCard) to shop online. The answer is yes.

However, there are additional steps you have to take to prevent your card from being rejected by the merchant. The problem with using Visa (or any other bank issued) gift card online is that there is no verifiable name and address associated with the card. When buying things online, most merchants want your name and billing address to match the name and address you have on file with your card (credit, debit, or bank gift card) issuer.

Therefore, before you use your Visa or other bank issued gift card, call the merchant/financial institution that issued the card or go to their website and add your name and address to the card. This will ensure that when you use the card online, the name and address you provide to the merchant for billing will match the name and address on file for the card. Once you have registered your card, you can use it online just like you would use a regular credit card.

If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your Visa gift card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card online.

radley1009

anyone have any good ideas to fill a xmas gift basket with items for a couple? thanks

Answer
xmas gift already? wow

How about movie night basket....xmas dvd, popcorn, candy canes, fuzzy xmas socks, etc. - Or just do a reg. dvd....reg. candy.

Or do a romantic basket, champagne, candles, mints, bath salts, cd of love songs.

Whatever you do...don't do the cheesy cheese/wine basket....thats so 90s.

Or retro basket, fill with toys, candy...travel games of stuff they used as kids (i.e, for my age - I'm 40, my basket would have pez, dip sticks, chick sticks, pickup sticks, Yatzee, slinky, etc.

Answer
I find gift certificates are great- the all purpose gift.

Engagement party gift suggestions?

Green Eyes

I have a friend who is getting married in a few months. They are having an engagement party later this month. I am on a tight budget, but I would like to buy them a nice gift. I purchased a picture frame that was wedding themed and the bride's style. Should I add something to that? The frame was pretty inexpensive.

Answer
Gifting is not expected on engagement parties. Trust me, you will have PLENTY of opportunities to gift them with all the showers, wedding presents and bachelorrete parties etc.

If you feel compelled to buy something, a card or/and a bottle of champagne/wine is standard for that type of affairs. Potted plants or flowers are also traditional engagement gifts. Save the frame for one of the showers.

Good luck

Engagement party gift ideas?

Davina Lop

I'm attending my cousin and his fiancée engagement party next weekend and I have no idea what kind of gift to give them since they already live with each other and have everything they need for their house. I was thinking of just buying them a card and putting $100 dollars in it. Is money a good idea or should I get them an actual gift.

Answer
I agree, most people do not consider the engagement party to be a gift giving event, it IS the gift!
You can't go wrong with just a nice card.

If you wish to give a gift, cash or a boxed gift, fine, you can. But do know that you might be invited to lots of wedding events. Perhaps more than one engagement party. Perhaps the shower, or more than one. Then the wedding itself. Perhaps even a bachelor, or bachelorette party.
It would be nice to give them some money up front, I'm sure they would appreciate it. If you can afford it, why not?

This is a good time for the family to give heirloom or new bought gifts for the wedding, like a cake server and knife, or toasting glasses.
Also a good time to hand down heirlooms for their house, or jewelry.
Also for the family to chip in with financial help.

Books on weddings are a good present.
a bottle of champagne intended to be opened at this party, or for another time, or a bottle of nice wine is good.
Photo albums and scrapbooks would be fine too.

how do I send a gift to the UK?

Kevin

ok i want to send something to a friend of mine that moved to the UK? how do i do that??

Answer
You make sure that the gift is something that is allowed into the UK. You package the gift so that it is secure during transportation. You address it with your return address as well ,and then you take it to the post office where they will weight it. You decide if you want it to go airmail or surface mail. You then fill in the customs form, pay the required amount and leave it with the post office to deal with it from then on...

Would my child be consider a gifted child? UK?

Me

Okay I asked a question earlier, and I guess I didn't give the right information.

We have a son, who just turned 2 a week ago.
For about 3-4 months now he has learned...
all his colors
his numbers
most of his ABC's
can read about 3 dozen words (and learning more each week)
can do simple math
knows his shapes

On a non educational level..
he knows how to dial the telephone and use it (house and cell phone)
play (with more skill than my teenagers lol) the Wii an play station (including how to put the disk in, turn it on an load the game, switch between users etc)
basic computer skills, such as opening a web browser an clicking on his saved pages and turning the pc on an off.
use a TV remote, to scroll through his programs saved on the DVR an select which one he wants to watch

This is not by any means an all inclusive list of his abilities. I am just curious if he would be considered gifted in England? I know in the states he is.

We are just concerned with his ability to learn at a frightening pace and memory retention ability (which is somewhat unreal) , that he is going to be bored in school. We already have to find numerous different ways to keep him stimulated and learning. He learns VERY quickly an gets bored.
For instance in one bus ride of less than 15 minutes, he learned all his shapes. Now if you try to sit with him to go over them, he will tell you what they are once, then refuses to do so again and we have to move on to something new. As soon as he has mastered something we have to find a new way to challenge him.

Is home schooling allowed in England? I am just trying to figure our options out. Or if he is just "normal" for English children, then I guess we don't need to be thinking ahead.

Answer
He certainly sounds like a bright little boy. Do you have more than one child? I'll swear I answered a question from you the other day but I thought it was about a child who was much closer to school age.

He won't be bored in school at least to start with because what he'll be learning is how to interact with a group, how to cope when he has to share the adult in charge with 15 or so other kids, how to take turns or play on a team in PE, and so on. Reception is pretty much about life skills rather than reading and writing. They do do that as well, but they'll be at a wide range of different levels. It's later on, when the whole class is learning the idea of "subtraction" and yours understood it at 3, that he'll be bored.

We don't really make a big fuss of "gifted" here. (Which I'm not at all saying is a good thing). If you are expecting professional educators to gush over how amazing your son is, it isn't going to happen.

However, bright young kids _do_ have an astonishing memory retention ability compared to adults. Don't be writing to the Guinness Book of Records yet :) He's very likely to have a more "normal" memory as he gets older and simply _has_ to remember a wide range of things about different subjects. Right now, all he has to remember is a few fun facts. You'd find it easy too...except that your memory is all filled up with when you have to make dinner and if the car needs petrol and hanging the washing out and filling in that form...

My opinion? Regardless of how academically gifted he is, you need to let him be "normal". He needs to go to playgroup and fingerpaint. He needs to dig in the sand. He needs to sing tunelessly and dress up as a pirate. He needs to be an ordinary toddler. He needs to play with friends (or at least acquaintances). Even if he'd rather be doing maths worksheets. (And I say that as mum to a child who would absolutely have rather spent his life doing maths worksheets and whose idea of a perfect early childhood day would have contained zero interaction with other kids).

Cross the bridge of whether he's bored at school when he actually gets there. We don't have the concept of passing or failing a year - if he goes to primary school for a term and it isn't right, you can pull him out, ring up your local academic private school and see if they'll look at him, start homeschooling, whatever. But please don't wrap him in cotton wool as this special little snowflake who can't possibly enjoy the things other kids do. You won't be doing him any favours at all.
