Using Visa Giftcard to purchase phone in-store?

This one gets tricky. Please call your local store: Apple or AT&T and see what they tell you and then call them again to confirm.
The issue with using multiple pre-loaded VISA cards is the max balance on each card and how the transaction is processed at POS. Most POS configurations will not support multiple sources of "Stored" Value.

I just called my local AT&T store and was told I'd have to pay either using a credit card or cash, and that debit cards and gift cards (VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX) would not be accepted.
I'll try to call again tomorrow and find out though, the person I called seemed impatient and hesitant in answering.

I was able to "pre-order" at Best Buy with a pre-paid Visa card. I called Apple and they told me that pre-paid credit cards were accepted anywhere regular cards were. I can't imagine ATT would differ. Ill have the cash on hand just in case but I doubt it's a problem. Besides, when they scan the card how are they gonna know? I dont know if there is a difference between the gift cards and the pre-paid Credit Cards, but the one I use had to be activated just like a Credit Card. Did yours?>
