Yes and no. They work on Costco.com. One per order. You could order Costco gift cards but many reports Costco will flag your account for using too many different card numbers. Then it will take weeks of escalation to get it back, if at all. So I would not recommend it. I would buy the physical ones to use in warehouse. You can use Visa or MC if you add a PIN.
Oh this is good to know. I've been buying shop cards with my visa gift cards, I guess I should stop

Because normally it's $207 for $200.

If you have a Chase Ink Business card, you get 5x points, so buy these and buy your normal purchases that would have only coded as 1x, with these, and it's basically like getting 5x instead of 1x.

So you can churn credit card points.

I placed 4 orders on Costco.com for 2-$100 shop cards. 3 orders successful, but they cancelled my 4th and now I'm stuck waiting for the long process of the pre-authorized funds to go back to the card, ugh. My buddy did the same and his first order got cancelled/flagged immediately. And he has $1600 of these Visa cards!

Are you able to use these cards to pay utility bills (water, gas, internet)?

Got these to fulfill a cc minimum spend. But still haven't figured out how to convert them back into cash. Money orders at Walmart didn't work, and was denied. Haven't tried money orders at the post office though.

Any other options?

Some people live near locations that never have these in stock or sell out super quick. Some also feel that a digital version of the cards are less likely to be tampered with or stolen.
"Steal" the non-activated cards when they are in stock but not on sale. When there is a sale, take those to be purchased and activated. That's what I do with the stores that runs out super fast when there is a fee-free deal.

I would think the physical card is a bit more secure due to the onsite activation. I have had other GC that fails on activation, so I'm not sure how they would do it online. I used these to buy lotto tickets which you cannot do with the virtual card. I guess that's the only difference.

You can't. Use them to pay bills.

Possible to use as payment to send funds to a friend in Paypal?
This certainly would make things easy.
