Then Visa / Mastercard Gift Cards work like a credit card to buy things online? I plan to buy stuff from the internet, but I do not have a credit card. I was told Visa or Mastercard gift cards can work like a credit card, but they say debit cards on the card. Can a prepaid gift card work if the only option is to pay the credit card, or if it depends on who you buy it online from? So please respond if you have tried that. Thank you.

Use your Visa or American Express gift card shop
One of the most common gift cards, especially on Yahoo Answers is whether you can use a Visa or any other bank issued gift card (American Express, Discover, or MasterCard) to shop online . The answer is yes.
However, there are additional steps you take to prevent your card being rejected by the merchant. The problem with using Visa (or any other bank issued) online gift cards is that there is no verifiable name and address of the card. When buying things online, most merchants want your name and billing address from the name and address you have on file with your card (credit, debit or gift card from Bank ) the issuer.
Therefore, before using your Visa or other bank issued gift card, call the merchant or financial institution issuing the card or visit their website and add your name and address on the map. This will ensure that when you use the card online, the name and address that you provide to the merchant to match the billing name and address on file cards. Once you have registered your card, you can use online as you would use an ordinary credit card.
If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your gift card Visa card issuer to call or go online and update your information before using the card online.
