the customer for another gift card or other form of payment. 

Card not 

supported 
Please retry. 

The card type swiped by the customer cannot be used for gift card transactions. For 

example, they might have swiped a loyalty card or a credit card.  
Ask the customer what type of card they would like to pay with. 

Card read error 

There is a problem with the magnetic stripe on the gift card that was swiped. 
Try swiping the card again, this time more slowly or quickly, or from front of the terminal 

to the back. 

Host sync failed 

There was a terminal, host, or communication problem during syncing with the Moneris 

host. 
Try to sync again. If this does not work, contact Moneris. 

Invalid expiry 

date 

The promotional gift card entered has passed its expiry date. Request another form of 

payment.  

Note:

  A promotional gift card is like a coupon. It is given, not sold, to customers at the 

merchant’s discretion and can be set up to expire. An expired promotional gift card and 

its balance cannot be used again nor can the balance be transferred to another card. 

There were no 

transactions 

found based on 

your criteria 

The terminal did not find any gift card transactions matching the authorization number 

you entered. Check the authorization number and try again. 

No totals 

available 

You tried to close your gift batch, but no gift card transactions have been processed 

since the last gift card Batch Close.  There is no need to close an empty batch. 

Refund amount 

greater than 

original 

The refund amount you entered is greater than the original purchase amount.  
Re-try the transaction with the correct refund amount. 

Transaction 

amount over 

maximum 

The transaction amount you entered exceeds the allowable amount for a single 

transaction using a gift card. 
If the transaction is a gift card Purchase, split the purchase amount and perform 2 

transactions, or request another gift card or other form of payment. 

Matching 

transaction not 

found 

The terminal did not find any gift card transactions matching the authorization number 

(or other criteria) you entered. 
Check the authorization number (or other criteria) and try again.
