How to Reach Support

1

Identify the right number to call

Use 1-888-846-4308 for issues related to your card — including balance questions, activation problems, lost or stolen cards, and replacement requests. Use 1-833-205-8622 for issues related to purchasing a card or an existing order, such as delivery delays or order status inquiries.
2

Gather your information before calling

Have the following ready to speed up your call:
  • Your card number (15–16 digits from the front of the card)
  • Your order number (if calling about a purchase or delivery)
  • The email address used at the time of purchase
  • Your Valid Thru date and 4-digit security code (for card-related calls)
3

Call or use the automated system

Both support lines are staffed during regular business hours. The automated system for balance inquiries is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — no wait time required. For live agent assistance, calling during off-peak hours (mid-morning on weekdays) typically reduces hold times.
