Want to give someone (or yourself) a gift card, but don’t want to wait for the card to be shipped to them? Here’s what you do – get a virtual gift card.

Virtual Debit Gift Card

This amazing gift card (from the folks at GiftCards .com) gives you all the benefits of a traditional debit gift card, with the added benefit of being delivered almost immediately (sometimes it can take a few hours to be issued). No shipping, instant gratification. Isn’t that what we all want? Have you ever waited until the last minute to buy a present for a friend or loved one? (yeah, we know you have!). This solves your last minute gift-giving problems. Buy a Virtual Gift Card and have it delivered almost immediately.

Here’s how it works.

The ordering process is the same as for plastic gift cards except GiftCards electronically delivers a Visa virtual gift account to the recipient. Gift recipients receive an email notification with a link to activate their VirtualGift. Once activated, the VirtualGift can be used online or over the phone with anyone that accepts Visa debit cards. The VirtualGift gift card provides you with a quick, easy and memorable gift idea. It’s especially good for those who love shopping online, over the phone, or through mail order.

VirtualGifts can be purchased for any dollar amount between $20 and $200 and there’s a $4.00 processing fee associated with each Virtual Gift account.
