Staff Chris B Posted September 8, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hey Radix, In theory, yes, a Visa Gift Card should work. However, I would make sure there is a little bit extra on the card than the value of the item you are purchasing as we may do a $1 authorisation (which will be returned to you) to make sure the card is legitimate.

TychoBrahe Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I did purchase Affinity Designer with a normal (non gift card) a couple of days ago and it worked. But last night I checked and had a little over 16 dollars on a VISA gift card and thought why not just use it and start using it up. So, I was going to make a purchase of the Nature Brush pack which is on sale for 7.99 right now. It declined my purchase. Affinity isn't the only/first site I've had this sort of thing happen in the past. Not sure what the magic combination/requirements are for a card but apparently there's something it doesn't like. I was keying all the numbers in correctly (and tried several times). Yet in the past, after it's declined on one site, I can usually go to some other site (e.g. Amazon) and us it there. Anyway, I'm not asking for help here in this thread but pointing out that it doesn't always work (for whatever reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Smith Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I am currently having this problem. I have thirty dollars on my Visa gift card and my purchase of Affinity designer is still being rejected. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra376 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Gift cards / pre paid cards can only be used in the country they are issued in. I was having the same issue (I'm in the US) and tried using several gift cards to buy Affinity, even through Paypal. The cardholder agreements state they can only be used in the US (or whatever country they're issued in). Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
