My Verizon account on the web via a desktop.
I have tried Bill-Payment Options- enter an amount ($100) and then “Add or Edit Payment method.” Gift card is not highlighted followed with an i and then says “gift card payments restricted.”
Thank you for those additional details, Waldnorm. Have you had an opportunity to confirm the balance through the back of the card?
I purchased these two cards myself. Each should have $100 on the card. But thats not the issue why that appeared. I never even had an opportunity to put in numbers for the gift card, etc., I just could not select gift card as an option. I tried to put this in as credit for future payments or to pay ahead. Should I wait until I receive my next bill and then try again? I never had to do that before when I paid ahead with my credit card beforehand.
Ah, thnak you so much, Waldnorm, yes you must have a balance to have this option open:
