I've heard using credit cards to buy these is hit or miss. Is that the only limitation? Can I use the OneVanilla card as a credit card for everything like online shopping, buying meals at restaurants, random purchases? Or is the OneVanilla card limited in what you can actually use it for? I guess I always thought of those cards as gift cards you can you use anywhere, as long as you're cool with the 5.95 fee.
Thanks!
I think that is actually how they are intended to be used. Should be fine. You may need to register it online before you use it for online shopping, but that shouldn't be a problem.
