There are NO 100% reliable answers to most of these questions. The only way to know is to go into the place, see what they have, buy what they have, and when your credit card bill comes, examine it carefully. You have to get off your arse and try some stuff. Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't.
some people just want all the hard work done for them lol
if life were that simple, MS wouldn't be a thing, I'd just pay someone to do it for me!

If you have a store that displays the logos showing they take MasterCard and they say no to buying prepaid cards with them, file complaints here: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/cons...-shopping.html
Visa you can email [email protected].
If a place is reported enough, they get threatened with having the fees they pay the credit card companies raised for non-compliance with acceptance policy and that usually gets them in-line since they don't want the fees hiked!

Valero might be getting harder. I have been told cash/debit only for the variable load VGCs at each of the ones I've tried (most don't have the variables, only $25/$50). At one an assistant manager said that's been the policy for a few months, but the company really started cracking down on employees around Christmas. As always YMMV they never have me a hard time before.
