I am unable to pay with a credit card or Amex card. Why is this?
All personal credit card payment methods and Amex have been removed from the site. Please make your payment using a debit card.
I am trying to place an order and I am receiving a “card type not supported” error when entering my card number. Why is this?
If you are using a credit card, credit cards have been blocked on this site. Please make your payment with a debit card instead.
If you are using a debit card, certain issuing banks sometimes use 16 digit card numbers which were previously associated with credit cards. As we have blocked credit cards on this website, if our system is identifying your payment method as a credit card, you will not be able to proceed. Please use an alternative debit card, or contact our Customer Care team who will be able to help you.
I've lost my Give as you Live Card, what is the procedure?
To report your card lost/stolen please call our card provider SVM Global immediately and report the card lost - you can do this via phone on 01709 303 107 or via email at customercare@svmglobal.com.
My card didn't work when I tried to spend it in-store.
There could be several reasons why this may have happened. Please check:
— That you know your balance, and it is more than or equal to the amount you're trying to spend.
— The Give as you Live Card hasn't expired (check the Valid Thru date on the front of the card).
— The retailer's card terminal is working correctly; they may have a fault causing your card to be declined.
How do I top-up or add extra funds to my Give as you Live Card?
Unfortunately it is not currently possible to top your card with additional funds, as the Give as you Live Card is a single-load card.
