“Error This card cannot be used for refund transactions”

 

You have attempted to refund money to a gift card that has not been activated. Process the refund to another gift card, or refund to another tender type.

 

The gift card the customer is trying to redeem has a $0 balance.

 

Perform a balance inquiry. If the gift card does have a $0 balance, it will need to be activated/reloaded before it can be redeemed.

 

The gift card does not have enough value to pay for an entire purchase.

 

The customer needs to use another payment type for the remaining amount owed (called a Split-tender payment).

 

“Card already deactivated” error appears when trying to activate a gift card, or when performing a balance inquiry.

 

Some types of gift cards are not able to be reloaded (based on your Merchant Agreement with Moneris). If a non-reloadable gift card has been activated and redeemed, it cannot be reloaded. Also, deactivated gift cards cannot be reloaded.
