How do you treat Visa Gift Cards that someone wants to use as payment?

by Joy

We have another church that attends our church camp & this year they gave us visa gift cards to pay for part of their registration fees, which our person in charge of camp used for camp expenses. My question is, do I book this amount the same as if we would have received cash? And then book the expenses against it?

Thanks for the help!

That sounds like the most straight forward and least confusing way to handle.
