FYI, I have been having more and more problems with these cards being accepted lately. As you would suspect, they won't be accepted for anything with a recurring charge like subscriptions, but recently I have had both Visa and Mastercard orders for Costco gift cards being cancelled. I would use these $200 cards to buy Costco gift cards, and then use the Costco gift cards for larger Costco purchases, of $200 or more (most recently a dishwasher) - but it doesn't look like that's possible anymore. Not a big deal, but just something to be aware of.

Your Costco gift cards are cancelled because Costco has a stupid security polity where you can't use too many different credit cards. I bet your account can't no longer order Costco gift card period. You can still use these cards to buy Costco gift card at the warehouse.

not true. I order this deal (with a real credit card) and received. Looks like only the orders with gift cards were canceled.

You can't use MasterCard in store to buy costco gift cards.

That's interesting, because after I used about 10 prepaid credit card to buy Costco giftcards, Costco permanently banned me from purchasing giftcards online. Have you order giftcard using credit cards after prepaid visa/mastercards order got cancelled?

Costco doesn't accept Mastercard, but it accepts any debit cards, so you just need to pick debit instead of credit. I have done this a few times at the warehouse.

Good to know. I won't be doing this any more as I also didn't know getting banned from buying Costco gift cards online was a possibility.

The Costco issue in itself wasn't a major issue, I just wanted to point out that over the last couple of years there are more places that don't accept these cards, or cancel orders.

On another subject, two of the three Staples stores in my area have closed in the last year, and the last remaining store in our area was wiped out of many items today. I wouldn't be surprised if this store is preparing to close it's doors as well.

No I have not.
Also I haven't been told that I was banned. I was told of no reason why my orders were canceled. I did try at least 3-4 times. All got canceled the next day. Looks like it's a manual cancellation.

You cannot use Mastercard at the Costco warehouse, only online.

That's what I usually do, however make sure your last payment is on a regular, non prepaid card. I'm with Allstate, and during covid when we received a "shelter in place" rebate on our auto insurance, it was credited back to the last card used to make a payment, which for me was a prepaid card, and the rebate never appeared. Now I make all but the last few bucks of my insurance payments with prepaid cards, and have the last partial payment using my Chase. I'm considering switching insurance and am using the same strategy as I'm sure whatever credit I have with my last insurance company will be credited back to my last payment method

not easy at all with Ameriprise / Connect (costco). Have to call in to pay.

Also AmEx offers 10% off insurance bill. much better deal.
