There's no guaranteed that it will work. Have you used the same sort of giftcard before and it did work then?

Here's an old blog link from Google's cache, http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:ZmYb341DbIoJ:blog.secondlife.com/2007/04/23/use-of-gift-cards/+second+life+giftcard&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

The regular Google link didn't work owing to the new blog system.

The old blog post said:

From: someone
We have confirmed there are several gift card types that are still not working via the payment interface at this time. We anticipate being able to restore usability for many of them, but the gift card issuer’s own fraud prevention efforts may be at the root of the inability to use them on SL. It’s not possible to know all the issuers and whether one type of Visa gift card may work, while another won’t. The usability varies from issuer to issuer. We are investigating and following up where we can.


That was in 2007, things might have changed since then.

Um, nevermind it's there.

I think it took a while for the card to enter the system
