Expand section Using The Card
How do I use my card?
Your card can be used to make purchases, like you would use a credit card, as long as the amount authorized for the transaction does not exceed the available balance. In the event you use your card for an online purchase, the billing address associated with your card is the address you entered at redemption; it will also be listed on your card page: https://reward.tremendous.com/visa-cards/
Can I use my card for a purchase higher than my card balance?
The gift card can only be used for a transaction higher than your card balance if the merchant is able to split the transaction and run the card for the specific amount available on the card and then accept another form of payment for the remaining balance of the transaction. If you attempt to make a transaction greater than the amount on the card, it will be declined.
Where can my card be used?
Your card can be used at any merchant in the United States and District of Columbia where Visa is accepted. However, whether or not the specific merchant accepts prepaid cards as payment is at their discretion.
Can I withdraw cash from my card?
No, you cannot withdraw cash from the Tremendous Visa Rewards Card. The card cannot be used at ATMs or on apps like Venmo.

Your card has been issued to you with a specific value and is not reloadable.
Do I use "debit" or "credit" to process my transactions?
In most cases, you can use either "debit" or "credit" to process your transactions. However, there is an exception at stores that allow you to withdraw cash at checkout (e.g. grocery stores). Because the Physical Visa Card does not support cash withdrawals, debit transactions will be declined. In instances like these, you can only process a credit transaction.

Why was my card declined?
You can visit your card page to view your transaction history. The transaction will include the reason your card was declined. Card page: https://reward.tremendous.com/visa-cards/
Why does my transaction show as "pending"?
A transaction may read as "pending" until the merchant confirms the final transaction amount (i.e. settles the transaction). The pending amount is the authorization for the transaction. In most cases, the transaction will settle in 7 business days. Once it settles, you will see the final amount that was charged to your card.
