5. When shopping online, can I split a payment between my card and a credit card? You may split payments if the specific online merchant permits it. Please note, however, that most online stores only accept one credit or debit/check card for payment. And since your card is processed like a Visa transaction, you likely wont be able to enter more than one card type to complete the transaction. 6. Can I spend more than my available balance? No. You will not be able to spend more than your available balance. The merchant will decline your transaction. 7. What if the amount of my purchase is more than my available balance? In this case, your purchase will be declined. 8. Why did my balance only decrease by $1 after I made a purchase at a merchant? Often, online merchants do not immediately charge customers for the full amount of the purchase. Many will authorize (temporarily deduct) $1 from your balance for verification purposes. This is a routine practice that affects all standard credit and debit card users. In most cases, merchants who operate in this manner will debit your balance for the full amount of the purchase and return the authorized $1 to your balance. The merchant may take up to 30 days to return these funds to your account. 9. What if a transaction is not approved by an online store? In the unlikely event that your transaction is declined by an online store, please make sure that you have done the following: Verified that the merchant accepts signature-based debit cards Chosen credit card as the payment method Selected Visa Correctly entered your 16-digit card number Correctly entered your 3-digit Security Code (if required) Correctly entered your expiration date Correctly entered your name (as it appears on your card) Correctly entered your billing address (same address on file for your account) Not generated a purchase amount that is greater than your available balance
If these tips do not resolve your issue, please contact Citi Prepaid Customer Service at 8004221992 by using the number printed on the back of your card. WITHDRAWING MONEY 1. Which ATMs can I use to access my funds? Please note that there will be a service fee for a withdrawal. There is an ATM withdrawal fee of $1.50 per domestic transaction and $3.50 for each international transaction. Additional fees may apply at non-Citibank ATMs. This fee, along with any other fees assessed by the ATM machine associated with your ATM transaction, is automatically deducted from your balance.

For a complete list of fees associated with your card, please refer to the Disclosures and Fees table below. 2. How much money can I withdraw from my card at an ATM on a daily basis? You can withdraw up to $400 per day, with a minimum withdrawal amount of $10. If your daily cash requirements are greater than these limits, contact Citi Prepaid Customer Service Team, 800-422-1992, for adjustments. Please note, however, that certain ATMs have machine-imposed limits that may not allow you to withdraw the maximum daily amount. 3. How do I check my available balance?
