No, you cannot use Vanilla Gift Cards by VISA or any gift card on Cash App.

This is because Cash App does not accept gift cards.

As a result, you cannot transfer funds, link to a Cash Card, or make transactions with Vanilla Visa Gift Cards via Cash App.

However, you can use a medium (supported by Cash App) to transfer money to Cash App indirectly.

How to Transfer Money From a Vanilla Gift Card to Cash App

You can use the balance on your Vanilla Gift Card by linking it to your PayPal or Venmo account.

Cash App currently does not allow gift cards, including Vanilla Gift Cards.

The only method to transfer the cash balance onto a gift card is to cash it out on one of the approved digital wallets and then transfer the funds to your Cash App.

Use PayPal or Venmo

For example, you can use the balance on Vanilla Gift Cards by linking it to your PayPal or Venmo account.

Both of these services let you use reloadable gift cards with no fees on their app.

Once you connect this gift card to PayPal or Venmo, you will need to connect your Cash App account or Cash Card to one of those apps.

  • When you click “PayPal Balance,” your wallet’s balance is shown.
  • Pick “Connect a Card.”
  • Enter the information about your gift cards, such as the number, type, expiration date, security code, and billing address, and then click “Link Card.”
