  • Can prepaid debit cards used for cashback at grocery stores? If yes, will it incur additional fees?

Thanks.
1. In general there are no usage fees after you buy the VGC/MCGC.
2. No. Most POS systems if not all restrict the use of the store gift card to buy other gift cards especially VGC/MCGC.
3. If you are talking about the MB VGC/MCGC, Vanilla VGC/MCGC, USB VGC/MCGC the answer is no on the cash back. If you are talking about BB or some other prepaid debit card then perhaps yes you can.
