Can I Design My Own Visa Gift Card?

We all love receiving a gift card. Hey, free money is free money, and gift cards provide a great way of saving at retailers you already shop at. When it comes down to it, there’s really not a lot you can dislike about gift cards. 

Still, nothing is perfect and there are critiques to be given everywhere, and that includes gift cards. Though undeniably useful and convenient when it comes to providing payment, general retail gift cards you purchase from supermarkets and drug stores are not particularly personal gifts. Despite your best intentions, there’s very little you can do to personalize gift cards for popular retailers and brands aside from slipping it into a thoughtful card for a more aesthetic presentation. 

However, if you want to step away from the average retail gift card or gift certificate, know that there is plenty of potential for personalization with bank gift cards like Visa. The gift card section at your local department store is limited and boring, but when you decide to purchase and design your own Visa gift card through a reputable online retailer you can ensure your recipient will be getting a unique gift card unlike any other. 

Gift Card Granny makes designing a personalized Visa gift card a breeze, helping you give something special to someone you care about. A gift card with a personal touch to it is much more likely to touch your gift recipient’s heart, and the fact that Visa gift cards can be used almost anywhere is sure to add all the more excitement to the mix.

Design Your Visa Gift Card with Gift Card Granny

Gift Card Granny has a massive inventory of retail gift cards for local and national brands and retailers, a majority of which are only available as digital gifts. While these types of gift cards come in handy, it should be acknowledged that Visa gift cards are generally better simply because they can be used in a variety of locations for all kinds of different brands. When compared to a gift card that is locked to one specific retailer, it’s easy to see which one has the clear advantage. 

Now that you know how great a present a Visa gift card would be, take it one step further and give a truly unique gift by designing a personalized Visa gift card on Gift Card Granny. Alongside pre-designed Visa gift cards perfect for any time of year, Gift Card Granny allows customers to create custom Visa gift cards by uploading personal photos and writing unique messages to display on the card. Since gift cards tend to feel impersonal and almost like afterthought gifts, taking time out of your day to personally create a custom Visa gift card for someone you care for is just the thing to make it stick out and feel special. 

To begin the Visa gift card creation process, simply select ‘Build a custom Visa gift card’ from the Visa dropdown menu from the Gift Card Granny main page. Once you are on the ‘Build a Card’ page, make sure you have the Visa option selected as your card brand (the only other option is Mastercard). Input the amount of funds you would like to load the card with, select a quantity from one to fifty, then go ahead and make your gift card stand out from all the rest by uploading a personal photo. Alongside the recipient’s name, you have the option to type out a custom message that will appear on the gift card and truly make it unique. 

Gift Card Granny will promptly print and ship your personalized gift card if you choose to have a plastic gift card. If you do not wish to order a physical gift card, you can designate an egift as your preferred method of delivery for quick service.

Keep in mind that, unlike retail gift cards, Visa gift cards come with an activation fee that must be paid by the buyer. That can be a deterrent for some folks who wish to avoid paying more than the value of the gift card and it can also change depending on which retailer you are purchasing the card from. However, when you buy from Gift Card Granny, you can shop with confidence by knowing that you are getting the lowest activation fee possible, meaning you won’t be overspending on your gift card. 

Visa gift card fees are based on the total value of the gift card. Here is a guide so you know which fees you can expect:

  • Card values from $10.00 to $74.99 have a $2.95 fee
  • Card values from $75.00 to $149.99 have a $3.95 fee
  • Card values from $150.00 to $249.99 have a $4.95 fee
  • Card values from $250.00 to $349.99 have a $5.95 fee
  • Card values from $350.00 to $500.00 have a $6.95 fee

Keep in mind that Visa gift cards will expire seven years from the date of purchase. That gives recipients an extremely generous amount of time to utilize the funds on their cards, though it is important to note that inactivity fees may accrue after a year of non-use. To make sure that doesn’t happen, be sure to make a purchase with your Visa gift card each year. 

Now that you have all the details, you can go in knowing exactly what to expect when it comes to designing your personalized Visa gift card.
