ok so i got a 10$ gift card at walmart.. Can i buy silk with it? Can i transfer money from it onto my paypal account? Please help..

its just a walmart gift card....?

Nope wont work i think.

fudge....

lol yea i got a visa pre-paid card once and it didnt work

so do they. or dont they?

they work but i dont think its as easy as it sounds

Yes they work, what you need to do is make a paypal account first and instead of entering your credit card info enter the visa gift card info, then use paypal to purchase the silk. You also have to register your gift card on the visa website before you do any of this.

and trasnfering the funds onto paypal takes like 3-5 business days.

Can anyone tell me how i can xfer money from a gift card to my paypal acc? like a site i can use to send the money, the site where i check the balance of the card doesn't allow me to send money. =/

Buying a Visa Gift Card works. You just buy through paypal and create a new account on the left side when it takes you to the paypal page when buying silk. If you don't have a bank account you won't be able to add the card on a normal account unless you use it upon your first purchase while signing up.

That's how I do it. I have about 5 different emails for each time I use paypal and a new Visa Gift Card whether it's for silk or whatever.

You do not need to register it at gift2go.net, but you do have to wait a few hours before you won't get the "this card has been denied by the bank that issued it error."

American Express Gift Cards do not work, I suggest using Visa.

I always just used it without dreating a account just putting the info in and buying it

Same, I bought a visa one two days ago, 10 minutes after I got it I went and bought silk without a paypal account or registering the card online. Only bad thing is paypal charges a $1 fee every time you get silk and you have to wait about a week for them to put the money back.
