I use them to pay:

city property taxes & water bill
electric bill
gas bill
car lease payment
All to establishments that would charge a fee for CC pmt but no fee for debit.

I've used hundreds of the physical cards but never these. I assume the only difference is you can't use these for transactions in person? But they work fine for all online transactions?
What I do is add them to Google Pay or Wallet, or if you have an iPhone, add them to your Apple Pay, so when you pay, you can make the payment with your phone.🔥

4 per transaction? Per day? Per promotion?

Here's a use case if you can't imagine one:

My kid's daycare charges 2.9% to use credit cards. This means that most credit cards will be money losers. However, if you have a Chase Ink Cash, you get 5% cash back in UR points, which means I can now earn 2% in points for daycare.

Also, if you are redeeming UR points for less than 1.3 cents per point, you're doing something wrong, so my upside is more than 2%.

Just don't do it with Amex cards. They get level 3 data and so can see what you purchase.
They couldn't care less. I bought $3k worth of MasterCard gift cards with my Amex, and then used them to buy $3k worth of Costco gift cards. got points for the purchase and the SUB in full.

most banks have caught on and will put in fine print that GC's don't count toward SUB's
Do they even know if you're buying a GC at Staples, Amazon, etc? Haven't needed to pull this to meet any mins but have bought GCs to rack up miles/points on my travel cards without issue.

Quote from Shanpra :
Can we use them with Apple Pay? Costco?
NO APPLE PAY.
Costco online will work. For In-store, I am not sure if we can add this VC to costco account and then have it auto-use in store, anyone know if this method works, and if it works until the last penny is used? what happens when say i have $4 left on card, does it take $4 from the added card, and prompts to use another card to cover the remaining balance?


Quote from everestsun :
My main issue with prepaid virtual credit cards is how to use up the last penny unless I buy gift cards.
I had a tough time using my last $4 on previous card. Wasted so much time trying to maximize, that i decided not to buy these again. i'll buy if I find the right methods.

For me, I remember all of them have an extra charge/fee.

If I don't plan to use the GCs immediately, is it better to still activate the GCs right away or to wait to activate them until I need to use them?

Right, but AMEX is pretty much dead. Used by a tiny minority as the 99% use VISA/MC

buy Costco gift card online then add it to your Costco account which you can use it in the store
Hey Foxmon - I see that the Costco gift cards are in denominations of $100, $250 and $500. How do you buy the Costco $500 with staples visa $200?
