Im afraid account closure means keeping money.

New here, wondering if this will work
Greetings, I’m new to the ms fourm and recently bought a Mastercard gc. Specifically from Amazon here’s the name
($100 Mastercard Gift Card (plus $5.95 Purchase Fee)
I was just wondering if this will work. I know visa gift cards are way better for this but I didn’t really have a clue so I just bought this based on the issuer instead which is metabank. As of writing this I will be heading to WM a little later and trying it out for the first time but wanted to see if this card was suitable. My Walmart has western union btw

I am not sure if the Amazon MC works at WM or not, but your cost for MS is too high.

This was honestly just a test run if I’m being honest. I’ve never done this before so I figured if I just test it out to see if it works past >99$ swipe limit .
Also I’m not losing money at all because I know someone who wants to buy the cards from me.
I’m going to try it tomorrow on my off day at my local WM, I’ll update you guys with details. Im from NY Long Island btw

if you are only breaking even, then it is a big waste of time.
