Just got this $50 Walmart Visa Gift Card, and I activated it and everything. I connected it to my PayPal and I tried to buy BF3 from GamersGate for 39.95 but it won't go through because of error 10417. Any way to fix this? Anyone willing to pay for it and have me buy something for them? I'm fairly sure that the card will still work on Amazon.

Why are you using Paypal instead of using the card directly?

What does Paypal offer that's better than simply slapping in walmart credit card number in?

Less information to put in?

GamersGate doesn't allow me to directly input the credit card info. It's either this or Rixty/Coinster/MoneyPak or buying their currency which I'd still need PayPal for.

Ah I see. That does put quite the restriction for you. Have you tried fund transfer? Not sure if that's even possible with these gift cards. Well I don't know much beyond this as I used my Walmart gift card just to buy something at Rite Aide.

You have to register a billing address to that card.

If it's Visa: you lucked out. Here's the website.

I've done that already at www.walmartgift.com. Should I do that site still?
