Hello, I would like to transfer one of my characters with a visa(or any other credit card) gift card, I have no access to a regular credit card so it isn't an option, I live in canada and was wondering if a 30$ card would cover it, and if there would be any sorts of taxes to it.

Prepaid credit cards may be rejected by our payment system due to address verification issues, Niightstar, although several players use them on a fairly frequent basis without error.

With that said, I do not know if $30.00 would cover the cost due to exchange rates. Be sure to place enough money on the card to cover the rate of exchange as well as the $1.00 “fee” Hathios mentioned. This $1.00 ping is only to verify the card is a valid credit card and will be reversed back into your available balance.
Q u o t e:

do you know if there is a tax otherwise on it?

You will not have to pay tax since you are in Canada. But as I stated, you will need to be concerned with the exchange rate.

Q u o t e:

i checked a currency converter online and supposedly it is only 84 cents for the the CAD to USD, but i'm not sure how up to date the payment system is on the value of the dollar

You may wish to contact a bank or a Foreign Exchange office as they may be able to provide you a more accurate conversion.

Keep in mind you are converting $25 US Dollars to Canadian Dollars though, not the other way around.
