Prepaid Cards – Mastercard

Where can I use my card?

Virtual cards and physical plastic cards can both be used online, over the phone and for mail-in payments. You can even add them to your favorite retailer, service or fast food mobile apps as a payment method. Physical cards can be used in stores and restaurants, similar to the way you would use your plastic debit or credit card. Some stores may be willing to type in your virtual card information, but allowing a card to be typed in is up to the store’s policy, so we can’t guarantee it.

Can I travel with my card?

Your card has a MasterCard logo on it which means you can use it where MasterCard is accepted. The front of your card will tell you if the card can only be used in a certain country. For example, it may say that the card can only be used in the United States and U.S. territories. If the front of your card doesn’t show any restrictions, it will work when you travel to a different country. However, if you use it at a store that needs to convert the transaction to a different currency, a 2% conversion fee will apply, just like when you travel with a personal credit card.

Do I need to activate my card?

No. Your card is active and ready for you to spend.

Can I get cash from an ATM or Bank?

Your card can’t be used at an ATM or bank for cash, unless the back of your card lists cash access fees.

Can my card be used to buy fuel?

The card cannot be used to pay at the pump. To purchase fuel you must pay for your purchase inside with the cashier.

How do I use my card online?

Virtual cards and physical plastic cards can both be used online. You’ll need your 16 digit card number, the expiration date and the security code. Most web merchants run address verification during checkout, to make sure that the address of the card and the address you give the merchant are a match. Be sure your card address is up to date. If you move or need to make an address change for any reason, you can edit the card address at any time. Log into your Wallet, go to the Menu and click Profile. Here, you can edit your Wallet address, which means that the next card you add to your Wallet will use this address. You can also update the address of an individual card by clicking on a card in your Wallet or clicking on the original email that was sent to you. Then, select the Edit option, which is next to the address.

Can I add money to my card?

This card can’t be loaded with your own money.
I noticed that my card says “debit” on the front. Do I need a PIN number to use it?
Stores can run your card as a credit or a debit transaction, and some stores may let you choose. For quick and easy checkout, just pick “credit”. If you’d like to make a debit purchase instead, you can click on a card in your Wallet or click on the original email that was sent to you. Click “get PIN” to pull your PIN.

How do I make a purchase that totals more than the amount on my card?

To use your card on a purchase that totals more than the amount on the card, tell the cashier that you want to split the transaction and the current balance on your card. Then, use a different form of payment (cash, check, your own personal card, etc.) for the difference. Most stores will let you split a transaction, but it depends on their policy. If an online merchant’s website doesn’t let you split the transaction, you can try calling the website’s customer service number. They may split the transaction for you over the phone.

How do I check my balance?

You can check your balance, card details, mail dates, PINs, spend history and more online at any time. Log into your Wallet and click on a card or click on the original email that was sent to you. If you have a plastic card, turn it over and check the back for a reminder of the website and phone number where you can call us with other questions.

What should I do if my card is lost or stolen?

Call Cardholder Services right away at 1-866-230-3809. Your card will be closed to block it from fraudulent purchases. We’ll send you a new card for the remaining balance minus a card reissue fee.

Does my card expire?

Yes. Prepaid cards expire, so pay close attention to the expiration date. The card can be used until the last day of the month it expires, up until midnight Eastern Standard Time. You won’t be able to use the funds after expiration.

I returned something that I purchased with my card. When will the credit show?

Even after you’ve spent the card, keep it until you know you won’t be returning anything you purchased. If you need to return something, the store may need you to swipe the card used to make the original purchase. Once the store does the return at the register, allow 7-10 days for the credit to show on your card balance.

Can my card ever have a negative balance?

If a purchase totals more than the amount on the card and the merchant processes your card correctly by sending us an authorization request, the transaction won’t work and your card will decline. However, there can be times when a merchant processes your card without sending us an authorization request. A restaurant tip can also overdraft a card, so be mindful of your balance at restaurants when leaving a tip. If the card overdrafts, you’ll need to send a payment to Cardholder Services to cover the negative amount.
Payments should be sent to:

Cardholder Services
PO Box 5109
Buffalo Grove, IL 60089

Can I use my card with funds transfer apps or services, such as Venmo, PayPal and Zelle?

No, your card is not compatible with apps or services that allow you to send funds digitally to numerous merchants or other people. However, you can use your card with most merchant-specific apps or services that allow you to load a balance to be spent at that specific merchant, such as your favorite retailer or restaurant app.

How many times do I need to agree to the Terms and Conditions?

Terms and Conditions need to be agreed to each time a user redeems a token. There are 4 links that appear near the bottom of the prompt the first time (Privacy Policy, Electronic Account Notices, Service Agreements and Product Terms). The first time recipients redeem a token, they will see all 4 because they need to agree to all 4. The second time (and every other time) they redeem a token however, they will only see 1 link which is the Product Terms they have to agree to each time. Our system knows recipients already agreed once due to cookies we capture when someone first goes to PPDS.

What happens to my old Samsung One Rewards card ?

Your previous card will be usable and any credits on there will be valid until the card expires. You can continue to use both cards in parallel into the former expires.
