Chase Gift Cards:
GAME OVER

We’re sorry, but we no longer offer Chase Gift Cards.

We will continue to honor current Chase Gift Cards. If you have a Chase Gift Card, you may continue to use it until the funds are depleted or upon card expiration.
If your existing Chase Gift Card has been damaged, lost or stolen, you can redeem the balance or get a replacement Card by calling us at
1-866-466-0079, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Use that number if you have questions about your existing Chase Gift Card.



www.chasewebgiftpurchase.com/index.cfm - [No longer working]

https://www.chase.com/online/Checking/gift-card.htm/ [No longer working as of 9/20/13]

$500 max value per card

Can be used as debit
Call # on card to set pin

There are some limitations to using gift cards as opposed to debit cards, but these are functioning very well as debit cards. So please follow the number one rule of manufactured spend: DON"T CALL THE BANKS.

The first time I called 2 days ago, they were not active yet. I think to call the second time.

Has this happen to anyone? I have 4 personal and 1 business credit cards from Chase. I bought a total of +/- 15 $500 cards spread out among my 5 cc cards in the past three months so I am definitely not aggressive in this regard.
when weird things happen, I try again later..... its not stable system and takes time to reset.

I tried again this morning to activate but still the same "card status unknown" message Talked to the Chase rep and was told the gift card was "locked" because of "suspicious activity" but told me not to worry about it Left a message with the Risk Management dept for a call back within 24 hours. Will update as soon as I hear back.

Tried to load $1K of CGC onto BB at Walmart, but the transaction was denied. Tried a second time but also denied.

At kiosk, cashier, or Money Center? Was there a reason given for denial?

I did it both times at the Money Center. Kiosk was down. No reason given. Cashier just handed me a small print out and said the whole transaction was declined.

Same thing happened to me today. I haven't hit the $5000 limit yet.

Receipt said, Debit not Approved, call authorizer

Whenever it says this it's a problem on Bluebird's end. Last time it said that for me I called and was over the $5,000/month load limit.
