I tried the gift card thing with River. No luck. The gift card stated no foriegn transactions, wasn't an issue of the currency. Not sure if all gift cards are the same, but, something to be aware of if you are looking into that option.

This is from Visa's website
Quote:
Can I use my Visa Gift card for online or phone purchases?
Yes. However, to make an online or phone purchase, you will need to register your card. You can do this by either calling the issuer, or by visiting their web site.
When you make an online or phone purchase, the name, address, and phone number you use will need to be exactly the same as the information you provided when registering your card. If the information is different, the transaction may be declined.
You can verify or update your information by visiting the card provider's web site, or by contacting them using the toll-free number provided in your card documentation.
Can I use my Visa Gift card outside of the United States?
If your gift card states Valid only in the United States on the front, your issuer has issued a Domestic Use Only card. Although your gift card will not be accepted at locations outside of the United States, it's welcome at millions of locations within the U.S. where Visa Debit cards are accepted.


Squirrel, did you register the card online with the same billing address or try to use it without registering?

I registered it first. I think you had to in order to use it online, though I could be wrong, it was over a month ago.

I did register my gift card and it said that some foreign transactions were allowed, but turned out India was not one of them. ALLDAY told me that some cards refuse their foreign transaction fee. It's good to remember that fee is there and make sure whatever card you use, always add in an extra $15 to the card total over the cost and shipping--or it will be refused.

Whatever the "online" account the bank advised me to use worked well. It's Wachovia/WellsFargo and they told me that it is designed to provide safe online transactions--basically, you leave the account empty (and that is allowed without triggering closure) until you will use it, then just transfer in the amount you will use and let it drain again. So, even is someone did access the account, there's "nothing" there.

Not perfect, but worked fine for my last order. I think most of us try to order as much as possible per order to keep the darn $25 shipping fees under control.
