Why would a gift card have a billing address?If a WA resident wanted to use a Visa Gift Card for an online purchase and have the item shipped to Oregon could they use the shipping address as the billing address for the Visa Gift Card?
I have read that if you want to use them for online purchases that you have to register a billing address to it?Why would a gift card have a billing address?
Interesting. I get these things every so often. Used to get them from Wife's parents and always get one when I buy tires. I am not sure I ever used one to shop online. I probably never have as I ALWAYS use a Credit Card for online buying due to the protections. So I have always burned up the gift cards at a store. Will be curious to hear if anyone here does use them for buying stuff online do they have to somehow register an address to them.I have read that if you want to use them for online purchases that you have to register a billing address to it?
Same here I have received them as gifts too and can't recall using them for online purchases. There appears to be way to register an address to them. What is not clear is whether you can pick any address you want or if you have to use your residential address?Interesting. I get these things every so often.

Nice info find, that is the answer then. That means that when a person registers a card at purchase point they would need to use the shipping address, if they are going to use it with a company who will only ship to billing address.This is right up my paranoid right-wing nut-job alley:
How to Use Prepaid Debit Cards for Anonymous Transactions
Sadly for the next year and better we will read and talk to WA residents who had no idea any of this happened. They will not find out until it finally hits them. Then they will get mad and start looking for someone to blame. They will have not bothered to vote and may well tell anyone who asks them voting is for chumps who believe in Santa. So while looking for someone to blame they will never look in the mirror.WA residents, remember that if you have to go through this hassle to order a backpack, that you have your next likely Governor to thank for it.
Do what I do and annoy them further by asking them who they voted for.Then they will get mad and start looking for someone to blame.
Hmm. I'm not sure if that negates my idea, or makes it all the more pointed.They will have not bothered to vote and may well tell anyone who asks them voting is for chumps
I do this all the time at work and most have learned to NOT bother complaining to me any more. They get VERY upset when I ask them "so who did you vote for". They get even more upset when I shrug and say "you voted for this".Do what I do and annoy them further by asking them who they voted for.

Elections have consequences, We get the Government we deserve.
Sadly me too. I tell many who do bother to vote and fight to not give up. We may have to live with this crap but, I still fight.Collectively, yes. But personally I am suffering from getting the government somebody else deserves.
