In my experience, they can be used anywhere normal Visa GC’s can be used (WM money orders, Bluebird, Evolve, etc.). Once I was told I couldn’t use a gift card to buy a money order, so I turned it over where it says in the fine print “this is not a credit card or gift card” and the cashier said, Oh, OK.
I stopped at a Giant in the Pocono's yesterday and picked one up. The $3.95 fee was charged and I did not receive any points. Oh, well...
