The Staples $200 MC sometimes have difficult to read PINs white white letters on dark gray mottled background. I mistook a 3 for an 8.

Not a single cashier asked to see a card, very different than the DC area. FWIW I only used Staples $200 VGC and MC, and conveniently was able to score some more since, again unlike DC area, the stores weren’t picked clean.

All in all the best GC to MO conversion run in several years for me. Unfortunately just a short trip.
