FAQs

Capital Vacations^® Visa^® Prepaid Card is not a credit card. It is a prepaid, stored value payment card. Once funds are deposited on your card, you can make purchases, in-store or online, for goods and services at millions of locations worldwide where Visa® is accepted (Please note that some internet merchants use fraud protection software that may decline a prepaid card for an online or phone purchase transaction).

Your Capital Vacations^® Visa^® Prepaid Card can be used everywhere that the Visa® acceptance mark is displayed (some exceptions may apply). Please check with the merchant before attempting to make a purchase as some merchants do not accept prepaid cards). If a card is used for a foreign currency transaction, a fee will be charged to convert the transaction into the card’s currency. Please refer to your 'Cardholder Agreement', under the Fees Schedule section, for further information.

To make a split payment with your Capital Vacations^® Visa^® Prepaid Card , you should let the merchant know in advance that you would like to split the payment and advise the merchant of the amount you would like applied against your card (Note: some merchants may not allow split payments). You should be aware of the balance available on the card in advance of making a payment.

For merchandise returns, you will need to deal directly with the merchant; each merchant has its own return policy. Keep the card and purchase receipts, even after the balance is depleted, as you may be asked to present them in order to process the return. When the merchant’s policy is to credit the card used for purchases (rather than provide cash or a store credit), the available balance on the card will be increased by the amount of the refund (typically within 3 days).

Tolerance is a temporary charge added to your prepaid card when it is used at restaurants, bars, and salons (places that typically have added gratuities for the service received). The tolerance amount could account for up to an additional 20% of your bill. Once the transaction has settled, the tolerance amount is no longer held.

When using your card at certain locations, such as restaurants, hotels, or other venues that often include a tip or surcharge, merchants may add in a tolerance amount – a preauthorization of up to 20% or more - so please ensure you have sufficient funds on the card. Example: If your total bill at a restaurant is $50, the card may be preauthorized for $50 + 20%. Although you will only be charged for the actual total that is signed for, you will need an available balance of at least $60 on the card for the transaction to be approved. If your total, after adding in the tolerance amount, exceeds the balance on the card, the transaction will be declined.
