My mom says she wont put her credit card online, but she says she'll let me buy a visa gift card to buy a bundle, can I buy a bundle this way? And will it unlock open chat?

I have no idea about the bundle situation, but I can tell you the requirements for open chat.
You must be 18+ You must have a valid CREDIT CARD on file. <----

Hello,
Absolutely! A few points to know though regarding Pre Paid Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, or Amex gift cards):
1. Most card issuers require registration of the card prior to internet or phone purchases. Flip your card over and find the customer service number or website to register your card (be sure to enter your address correctly!).
2. We do "pre-authorizations", meaning when you enter your credit card information in the system, we send a call to the bank to verify and validate account information - this results in a $1 authorization charge on your account. It is NOT a charge and will automatically be put back in to your available balance within 3-5 business days (depending on the issuing banks policy). We mention this because a $50 gift card cannot be used for a $50 purchase (the $1 pre-authorization will make the available balance read $49) and would be declined for insufficient funds. In this case, just purchase some smaller increments and buy a soda pop next week with the few extra dollars left over.
