gocardservices com Register Activate Card and Login Account
To activate your GoGift Card, call the number on the back of the card or visit gocardservices.com. You will need to provide the Card number and 3-digit security code from the back of the Card.
At a merchant or store, you can use your card by selecting “credit” at the merchant’s card terminal. Also, you may obtain a PIN (personal identification number) by calling the customer service number on the back of your card and following the automated instructions. Once you have a PIN you can select “debit” at the point of sale.
If you are making a purchase online or over the phone, just make sure the billing address you provide matches the one registered to your card. All of these options are subject to transaction fees. Cards cannot be used to obtain cash.

Where can I find my balance or transaction history?
You can get your card balance and a list of your transactions by logging into GoCardServices.com, through the Manage My Card by Pathward mobile app, or by calling customer service at the number on the back of the card.
Can I use my card at restaurants, hotels and car rental agencies?
Yes, but keep in mind many service-oriented merchants automatically factor in an additional percentage to cover any gratuity you may leave or incidental charge you may incur.
When using your card at restaurants, it’s best to have an available balance that is 20 percent greater than your bill, and when using your card at hotels and car rental agencies, check with the merchant to find out how much, if any, they over-authorize their transactions.

Can I still make a purchase if I don’t have enough funds on my card?
If the purchase amount is greater than the amount of the balance on your card, ask the merchant if they allow split tender transactions. A split-tender transaction is when the payment is split across multiple methods.
Depending on the merchant’s policy, you can request a split-tender transaction – just use an additional card or alternative payment method to cover the remaining cost of the purchase beyond your card’s balance. Keep in mind, some merchants may only allow you to do this if the second method of payment is cash or check. Also, online and most mail-order merchants do not permit split-tender transaction. There is no guarantee that every merchant will accept two forms of payment.
