I received a Visa gift card for Xmas this past year and went to use it on Midway's site. However, you cannot pay using two different credit cards. So, I called the 800 number and spoke with customer service. The young lady said that even over the phone, I could not split the order with two cards.
After an "Oh well, I'll try elsewhere" the young lady, named Angel (ironic), suggested we use the gift card to buy $50 in Midway Gift Certificates, apply those to my order, and then pay the balance using my regular card. Quick thinking on her part, and it worked. I asked if she was trained for that, and she said no, she just thought of it.
I suppose this strategy will work with any online vendor that doesn't allow credit card splits. I was very impressed with her quick thinking. She saved a sale for her company.
