- 1). Create a new account. Click the "File" button in the toolbar, highlight "New" and select "New Account" from the drop-down list that appears. Follow the prompts to enter information about your gift card and give it a familiar name. Decline the option to have Money attempt to search for your account online, as most gift cards are not configured like traditional bank accounts and therefore do not have online access to transaction records.
- 2). Enter the gift card starting balance. At the conclusion of the New Account setup, enter the starting balance of the gift card, as this will be reflected in your transaction register. Click the "Finish" button when you have accurately provided Money with your gift card details and opening balance.
- 3). Record purchases. Retain the receipts for items you bought with the gift card and enter the amount of those purchases into your gift card's transaction register. Money will automatically update the available balance to reflect the reduced gift card funds.
- 4). Record additions or additional credits. If you add funds to your gift card or reload it with new credits, enter a "Deposit" transaction into your gift card register to maintain accurate records of the available balance.
