Can I use a gift card to pay for a chess.com membership?

I recieved a $50 Vanilla Gift Card for Christmas and was hoping to find out if it is possible to pay for a chess.com membership using said card. I've seen a post with a similar question, which was answered with a "no". If anyone can answer, please do.

 Thanks, ClipprMusic

Edit: I found another post that mentions that any card with "Visa" on it was accepted, which mine has, however after testing to make the purchase chess.com has shown "This card is not accepted. Please try a different card."

Only cards that allow subscriptions can be used. A gift card wouldn't normally allow that.

You could log off and gift a membership to yourself, since that's not a subscription, and that should work.

Thank you very much!

Gift cards can be tricky with subscriptions. Sometimes they don’t work for recurring payments like a chess.com membership. One thing you might try is checking the balance and transaction history on a site like myprepaidcenter to make sure the card is fully active and has enough funds. If that doesn't help, you might consider using the card for a one-time purchase instead or gifting a membership to yourself, as that often works better with gift cards.

It says i need a zip code but my gift card doesnt have a zip code
