Can you add gift card money to paypal

Bump.  I'm trying to use a gift card as well, to pay for part of a purchase. 

I'd like to either combine the gift card balance into my Paypal balance (and use my Paypal balance to make the whole purchase), or split the payment with my other payment source.  The vendor I'm purchasing from doesn't show the option to split payment when I select Paypal, so I'm assuming that adding the gift card to my PP balance is my only option.

I can't seem to find any way to do this other than sending an invoice to myself and faking it.  Am I missing something (hopefully?)

Thanks

Justin

Can You Withdraw Money from a Visa Gift Card?

Unfortunately, you cannot withdraw money from a gift card. Firstly, this is because most gift cards come without PINs, and you cannot withdraw money from an ATM without a PIN

Secondly, stores will not allow you to get “cash back” from a gift card.

However, some gift cards do come with PINs now for security reasons, so if you would like to try to withdraw money from the ATM, you can try.

Additionally, you can read the terms and conditions on the back of your card for any extra details.
