I have a prepaid visa gift card.  I tried loading the card to my account and it would not let me.  I do not have pay pal. I just want to use my gift card.  Any suggestions? I am new to this system.

Hey there YoJake2x, thanks for reaching out and welcome to VR Community! Try using your Zip code and billing address with your Visa card, as all cards must have a valid billing address. If you are still having issues, please reach out to us by submitting a ticket or chat with us here: https://ocul.us/ContactSupport! We hope this resolved your issue so you can finally enjoy the VR World!

I am having the same issue.  I do not see an option to add a billing address when trying to add the card.  How do I do that?

That's something you need to look over with your card's settings. If you cannot add a billing address on the gift card website, then we suggest trying a different payment method if you're able. You can always PM us or reach us HERE if you're having other issues and we'll get you taken care of. Thanks!

Hello, I too am having the same issue, i am not able to buy a game with my visa gift card. I have registered the card with my address and everything and still wont work.

Hey there @FireMeow52! We see you are having concerns about adding a gift card as a payment method. Currently we don't accept all gift cards unless they are linked to your correct billing address. Can you let us know how you were able registered the prepaid card to add the address? Also, below we listed the types of payment method, the card requirements, and card restrictions.

 

The supported payment methods for the U.S.A are:

  • Visa
  • American Express (AMEX)
  • Mastercard
  • PayPal

There is no list of working/non-working cards for other regions, however, all regions must follow the below rules:

  • The card must be associated with a billing address
  • The card must be able to have funds added/reloaded to it.
    • E-cards and virtual Mastercards should work, but most Gift cards do not have this option
  • There cannot be purchasing restrictions placed on the card
  • The network cannot have any purchase restrictions to prevent online payments
  • Postal codes that do not follow the correct format will result in “invalid postal code”

We hope this was helpful and please don't hesitate to reach out to us about any other issues.

I'm also having this problem. All I want to do is buy a game but everything i try it does not work. I even tried to buy an actual meta quest gift card but even that declined. I tried to go to support but it said I was not authorized to access that page. I am very frustrated that it won't allow me to spend my money even after how much money I spent on buying the actual oculus. I even purchased things on other websites with the exact same information and that worked. I am tired of this you guys need to fix this and the ticket support.

Harryman.421567 Oh no! We're disappointed the system won't let you buy the games and apps you wanted, but we understand how this problem can interfere with your plans. Here is a link to open a support case so you can ask our specialized staff to look into this matter further on your behalf.

No need to get hostile. Our current supported payment methods require your card to have an associated billing address. That makes those Visa "Gift Cards" unusable in our store. Thankfully, we do have gift cards that are easily accessible, can be purchased through our authorized retailers and directly from our own store here
