Despite it most likely being a trusted site, you quickly click "no thanks" and yet again you fill in your shipping and billing details. Annoying to do over and over, but it makes you feel secure - at least I do.
These days despite the budget being super super tight over here, I have had to depend more on online shopping - mostly due to me getting bigger and not being able to stand in long lines and deal with the Christmas shopping crowds.
A few weeks ago I decided that I needed a little gift for myself and went online shopping with V.me by Visa at PacSun for non-maternity items. V.me had approached me to try out their secure online shopping and I was eager to give it a go - not much arm twisting was needed!
I ended up getting a pair of black and gold studded flats, an owl necklace and a red bomber jacket. I thought I'd take advantage of the sales despite not being able to wear the jacket just yet.
The truth is, knowing it has the Visa name is why I accepted to register on their site. They securely store your billing and shipping details; which also means you have just one username and one password to remember. Then you are ready to shop online anywhere V.me is accepted as a form of payment. I found it hassle free and it made the check out process faster.
There are a number of sites where you can securely pay with V.me, including:
I ended up giving the owl necklace to my sister as a gift, but kept the shoes and jacket. I love red and I can't wait to wear it post baby!
As we roll into 2013, lookout for the V.me by Visa sign when you do your online shopping and give it a try. Oh and you can also register your phone and shop from there. Wowza....sooooo tempting!
Happy New Year!
