NFriday Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi- I did a market research study back in February where I got paid with a $125 virtual visa. I am wondering if I can transfer it to my pay pal account? The virtual Visa is only good for three months, and it must be used online, but everytime I log in to be able to use it, I get this awful Captcha, and the last time I tried to use it, I got the Captcha, but I figured it out, but then they told me they were going to send a code to my email account, and I would have to enter it before they let me use my visa. I went to my email account, and opened up the email with the code. They said the code was only good for 15 minutes, and so then I went back to enter the code, but I was told the code was not valid. Has anybody else dealt with a virtual visa? It is very frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy21 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've never had a problem like that. IF you are able to get the Virtual Visa info ( name on the card, card number. and expiration date) print it out and keep track yourself as to how much of this Virtual Visa you have used. Then you won't have to keep logging into this difficult site. Btw, you probably only need the card number and the expiration date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download the Paypal HERE app and charge the balance into your Paypal account. It will cost a few dollars because it works like a purchase but it is so much less stressful knowing your money is secure and not in a virtual account. It's free and you do not need the card reader you just need the app. You can manually enter the virtual card information in the app. Scroll down to 'Getting started is easy' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically use all my survey money to pay down my debts, so this would be really helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natofborg Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 have downloaded the app, but my account is already considered a business account. The app insists on switching my personal account to a business one anyway, and keeps asking me the name of my business. I'm not sure how to proceed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksedwar Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 What app are you installing? Android or Apple. This is the Android app. PayPal Here - POS, Credit Card Reader - Apps on Google Play It's been years since I started using the app and when I started it was with the free card reader so maybe you need to order that? I'm not sure how to proceed. I just logged in and it let me start using the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try selecting ALLOW in your Java, Flash, and the Payment Handler and Virtual Reality options. You might want to select other options as well in your browser's settings. Hope this helps you get closer to receiving a successful code entry to validate your virtual visa card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically use all my survey money to pay down my debts, so this would be really helpful Log into your account and send an invoice for the amount of your gift card to a 2nd email address. Log out of your account. Log into that 2nd email & when you open the Paypal email there will be an option to pay invoice. Click to pay the invoice (Do NOT log into your own Paypal account, just pay invoice.) Enter the card #'s and that's it. Paypal will take a small cut.

natofborg Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Thanks. That is what I'm already doing, but since my account is already a business account, I don't need an app to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
