Teenagers...have you tried to buy a gift for a teen? Their taste in clothes/music/entertainment changes about as often as the weather. Or what about those shopaholics who have everything under the sun? Then there's dear ol' mom, who says, "Oh, honey, I don't need a thing."

Choosing the perfect gift can be a real challenge. Luckily, there's the Visa Gift Card. A gift card from a store limits the recipient to that one store. A Visa Gift Card is a gift-giving smorgasbord, thanks to the millions of merchants accepting Visa. It can be used to buy clothes, books, tools, electronics, gas, food, spa visits, puppy treats, flying lessons… the choices are limitless!

The Visa Gift Card is not a line of credit or an ATM card. It's a prepaid card that limits spending to the amount you place on the card - between $10 and $750. Each purchase is deducted from the card until there's no longer a balance. It's easy to keep track of the card's balance - online, on the phone, or even through many merchants. And, since it's protected by Visa, once registered by the recipient, the gift card can be replaced if lost or stolen.

Best of all, Visa Gift Cards are hassle-free. More thoughtful than cash, they aren't connected to your credit accounts and they don't come with the banking hassles of a check. Spend a little here, spend a little there…a Visa Gift Card provides the freedom to shop just about anywhere.

When should you choose a Visa Gift Card?

• When every store is the right store.
• For in-store, catalog, phone or online shoppers.
• When you don't know the right size or color.
• For birthdays, holidays, weddings, or any gift-giving occasion.
