- Be prepared to provide details of your purchase, such as the transaction date, amount, and any order or receipt numbers.
-
Provide Card Information:
- If the merchant agrees to process the refund, you may need to provide the Vanilla Visa Gift Card number and any other relevant information.

-
Dispute the Charge (if applicable):
