Gift + Travel Cards | Achieve CU (2024)

Perfect Gifts. Perfect Convenience.

Need to find the perfect gift for family or friends? Want a convenient and secure alternative to cash or traveler’s checks when traveling? Visit any Achieve CU branch to purchase your Visa Gift or Visa Travel Cards.

A Visa Gift Card¹ is a prepaid card that can be used everywhere Visa Debit and Credit Cards are accepted.

Use the Visa® Gift Card for any occasion: birthdays, holidays, graduations, or weddings. Recipients can use the card to buy what they want when they want.

Because it’s a prepaid card, spending is limited to the initial amount of money you place on the card at the time of purchase. Cards may be loaded with amounts from $10.00 - $1,000.00.

Prepaid cards do not have cash access but may be used at any merchants that accept Visa Debit and Credit Cards.

• $3.00 purchase fee per card.
• $2.95 monthly inactivity fee after 12 consecutive months of inactivity.
• $5.00 lost/stolen replacement card fee.

Check your Visa Gift Card balance at myprepaidbalance.com or call (866) 496-6183.

A Visa Travel Card offers you a convenient alternative to traveler's checks or cash. You may load up to $5,000 on the card at the time of purchase. Use your card everywhere Visa Debit and Credit Cards are accepted.

Use it for point-of-sale transactions, or you may obtain cash from your card at any ATM location that bears the brand mark on your card. (You will need to request a PIN at the time of travel card purchase to conduct ATM transactions.)

Unlike cash, the travel card can be replaced if lost or stolen. You also may reload the card multiple times with a minimum reload of $10.00.

• $9.00 purchase fee per card.
• $2.95 purchase fee per companion card.
• $2.95 fee per reload (unlimited).
• $4.95 monthly fee (waived for any reload).
• $9.95 lost/stolen replacement card fee.

Check your Visa Travel Card balance at GoCardServices.com or call (866) 261-7741.
