Victorias Secret Gift Card/Credit Card?

I am making a purchase off of Victorias Secret, and I'm using a gift card. It won't let my buy anything though, unless I enter my credit card number.

Will it take the money off of my gift card, or credit card?

    That is just in case the balance from your gift card doesn't cover the full amount of the purchase. I will suggest you to call instead of making the purchase though the internet, and also ask the representative if you can qualify for free shipping, sometimes they work with you. Good Luck!

    It might ask for your credit card as a back up payment in case your purchase exceeds the gift card limit either because of taxes, shipping, etc. Let's say you have a $50 gift card, then make sure the cost of the item you are getting is $40 or below because you need to leave some funds available to cover taxes and shipping.

    Other than that, before you rush to give out credit card info to close the transaction just call customer service and find out policies and protocols on gift card purchases.

    If you know that the money on the gift card will cover your expenses (including shipping), then there is no reason for you to punch in your credit card information (just your shipping address). However, if there isn't enough to cover the charges, then yes, you will need (and therefore would be charged) to enter your credit card information.

    If you know that your gift card will cover everything, then you should only have to give the card's number (pin, etc.). If you know that something is wrong, locate the contact button on their website or from their cataloge. Then you may talk to customer service, & they can place your order for you (I always thought it was easier this way). On their site they also have a place where you can click on "frequently asked questions." Maybe that will help you too.

    Should be the gift card. They may just want credit card info for verification in case gift card is not really yours.

    It will take it off your gift card. It probably just asks for your credit card as a security measure.

    i think gift cards only work in the stores. if you put it your credit card number, it takes off the credit card. so try the gift card when you're in the store (:

    If you don't have the money on the pre-paid card, they won't approve the transaction. You will have to load more money or you another account that has the money in it.

    That is a clitch in the website. You need to call customer service to make your purchase.
