Does MV accept Visa gift cards?

If it says Visa on the card I see no reason why it shouldn't work. They accept all major credit cards. Gift Visa's aren't handled any differently than a Credit, or Pre-Paid Visa.

The only difference is a gift card can be run through like a debit card or a credit card. If you run it as a debit you need to get a pin number to use with it then.

Unfortunately, there are some things that will decline your gift card even if does have the Visa logo.

I remember that the one or two times I tried to rent a movie at Redbox with a Visa gift card, it was declined. Probably because a gift card is not a permanent Visa card like the ATM/Debit card you have connected to your bank. Also Redbox asks you for your name, zip code, and e-mail address when you make a purchase, so there's that. They want the buyer to swipe their usual, "permanent" card...not a gift card that's gonna be thrown in the trash within a week. My Freedom ATM/Debit card (which is linked to my checking account) is what I have to use when I want to get a Redbox rental.

Same thing with some of these online game purchases. It's frustrating. My son would try to use a Visa gift card (which he got as a birthday gift or a Christmas gift) to make a purchase within some online game, and it would be declined. So I'd end up having to put in my Freedom card info after he gives me $10 or $20 cash of his money to pay me for it.

Some adult websites don't allow gift cards because age verification can't be retrieved from them. I know that Streamate has that policy.

I tried to use a Payoneer debit card to buy tokens on Chaturbate some years ago, and it was declined. I called CB, and the lady told me that CB does not accept Payoneer cards as payment. I was disappointed because, back then, I used a Payoneer card for damn near everything, and I know that a lot of cam girls at that time owned a Payoneer card.
