Question regarding the $10 off a $150+ Visa gift card at Meijer which I finally purchased today:
Does this particular type of card work for utility-type payments (electricity, internet service, etc.)? It was my understanding that it generally would work as long as it was a so-called "one time" payment. But the card did not work when I tried it a few minutes ago, surprising me. The internet provider was a flat No, and the electricity provider displayed an odd message about "pending" which I'm about 99% sure means they are going to say no in a day or two.
Is it better to stick with virtual cards for this kind of thing? That's okay, as I can just buy gas over the counter and groceries and stuff, but I was hoping this physical card would work for online payments.
BTW: Saturday the 13th is the last day for this Meijer offer, so get out there!
