The BIN on these cards last time was 451129, but that may have changed over the past couple of months. Staples processes their own gift card purchases, so paying with a card that earns well at office supply stores is the best way to get rewards off of these.
The limit is 5 in theory, but 4 in practice; the fee is present in cart as part of the subtotal before the discount kicks in, and Staples will not sell more than a $1,000 subtotal of gift cards in a single transaction. As such, throwing five $200s into your cart will show a message from Staples asking you to remove items from your cart before you can continue.

How do you compare a virtual visa from giftcards.com to one from staples? Every virtual visa works different.
No they don't. They are EXACTLY the same.

What does one gain from buying these cards, other than earning 5 UR points per dollar? Given the opportunity costs, the gains are even smaller.
It's a way to functionally earn points on no category spend
so for instance I had some medical bills recently that I had no CC bonuses for. By using these I effectively earned 5 UR

Just a warning, the virtual visa's are much more difficult to use than the physical ones - a lot of in store places won't accept them and even many online stores have isssues with them.
I never had trouble in store, and I've used it probably a dozen times in the last 2 weeks
When it comes to online, the issue usually is that there's no zip code attached
this can be easily fixed by setting it up on the visa website
I've used this at my grocery store, dentists office, bookstore, and for some online purchases
Kind of annoying that this isn't like the Vanilla visa that can be used with Apple Pay though

The worst part of this card was that it doesn't work in Google Wallet.

Not sure if this has changed.

Are you saying that at your grocery store the cashier has the ability to type your credit card in? This is a virtual card, it can't be tapped, inserted, or swiped. I don't know of any grocery store in my area where the cashier will type the credit card number in on theri terminal.

I'm confused on the purchase of these cards. Unless you need to spend $1000 or $5000 or whatever amount it is within 90 days to earn something from a new credit card you opened before you get the new credit card reward, there is no purpose to buy this right?

Someone mentioned 5 points but what is that referring to? It seems to be related to chase? For reference, I only have 2 credit cards. A Bank of America Worldpoints credit card that earns 1% cashback but you need to spend at least $2500 to earn the minimum cashback of $25 to claim. I do have the jetblue plus card. I don't have any plans to open any new credit cards

The thing is you earn credit card points that gets you extra cashback or travel miles depending on your credit card usually. I don't understand the logic of this when you going to use your credit card for future purchases anyway which will generate the same amount of points? I could understand if like you need a bit over x amount of points to claim a specific cashback amount on a credit card or it would earn you just enough points for your credit card that you use for flying and it will earn you just enough to spend the points for the miles it earn. Can someone explain this?

That's smart. I didn't realize this when I just paid last medical bill.

Just a quick comment on #2: if you add them to your Amazon balance, then you do have to buy stuff; For cable, internet bills, Chase Ink offers exactly same earning rate 5X. Why buy these cards in a roundabout way to get the same earning rate? For other utility bills, one can use US Bank customized cash to get 5X, albeit not UR points.
The only reason I can think of is to get SUB.

Oh wait I might be confusing it with the in store physical visa debit I get sorry. That's what I thought this was about

You can still buy gift cards to your preferred store probably with these but I have no personal experience
i still suspect using the zip code setup will solve some problems

And it's even sadder THIS gets asked nearly every time this deal is posted. In a nutshell, if you find no value in doing this deal, then there is no reason for you to do it. 5UR points on my Saphire reserve IS enough of a reason for me because they are used for travel. Also, great for meeting minimum spend on new cards.
Except for Amex, the next q that's gonna be: why Wink
