Helpful Tips for the US Bank Prepaid Gift Card.

• Always Know Your Gift Card Balance: The Gift Card transaction will be declined if you try to make a purchase in excess of your Gift Card balance. If your Gift Card value is not enough to cover the full amount of your purchase, ask the store or restaurant to split the transaction between the remaining Gift Card balance and another form of payment. Tell the cashier your Gift Card balance since many merchants cannot tell what the balance is. Go to www.mygiftcardsite.com to check your balance.

• To make a purchase in a store, press “credit” and sign or press “debit” and enter your PIN.

• The MyGiftCardsite US Bank Gift Card can only be used within the United States.

• Most restaurants where you tip may temporarily add approximately 20% for the tip. Make sure your balance can cover the 20% or your transaction will be declined.

• Pay inside the gas station for gas purchases. Do not pay at the pump.

• Register your Gift Card at www.mygiftcardsite.com with your name and address before you make any purchases over the web, phone or through the mail. Many merchants do an address match to check that the Prepaid Gift

Card belongs to the person making the purchase.

I used to be able to buy your cards from Jewel-Osco, but no more! I have tried their replacement cards, but they do not work as well as yours! (Easy to register – redeem online – check balances!).
Where can I buy these cards in the Chicago suburban area?
Thanks
