Does anyone know if you can use a visa gift card in costa rica or columbia. The card does not have my name on it just the words 'any customer' Thanks. |

Thanks. Why not just call VISA and ask them. Any info you get here may or may not be correct. |

Visa / Mastercard/ AMEX gift cards are good wherever those Credit cards are accepted.... They are treated simply as a credit card transaction & the establishment that they shop at would not know if it is a pre-paid card, gift card or any variation. Hope that helps.. .. |

I'm really glad this issue has come up because I've been wondering about using this myself. Although the card says that it's accepted wherever a visa card is, sometimes things don't go that smoothly. the visa gift card gives me an opportunity to use a "credit card" without there being a record of it here at home....if you catch my hint. I'd love to hear from soemone that has actually used one down in latin america |

It worked, without any issues. Good way not to have your own cc number stolen. Just a little added protection. |
