bought 2x $200 master card with WM GC, no problem, no questions asked.

I couldn't find anything higher than $100, beside the cashiers
but then found $200 cards on separate GC only rack, in the middle of the store.

2 of the Walmarts I went to wouldn't allow me to purchase the Vanilla MC's with the gift card. Luckily the 3rd one did with no questions asked. Fee is so high though for only a $200 card

YMMV
Try different time, location
I got mine from Langley on first try.
Cashier didn't even think twice.

I've not had an issue the 2 times I've done it... today with a $250 and $150 Vanilla Visa. Then again, I buy them with a bunch of other stuff. You may be raising a red flag by just doing the cards.

Can I not pay off the tab now unless I cancel it?
I haven't cancelled it yet and it won let me pay it off


Based on your profile, you are not eligible to complete this transaction. Potential reasons for this are:

You have not been with Koodo for at least 3 months
You have not yet paid off your first bill
You are on the spending limit program

If you call in you might be able to pay it off without canceling. But if you don't want to cancel, then why would you pay today something you could pay "tomorrow"?

But if you are talking about the rational why one would do it in terms of profit, the Canadian dollar is weak.

Both companies call customers a while after phones are activated. Once they see the line is disconnected, they escalate it. Once escalated, there’s notes left on the customers profile usually saying not to activate more phones for them.
So the porting the number over to a prepaid sim card plan is the best way to avoid a blacklist?

So, no weekend bonus this weekend. Ask WM rep to check the head office email for weekend bonus over the posted GC amount.

You should inform the WM rep that Koodo is charging small tab for A5. For the last sale around 6 weeks ago, when I told the WM rep that Koodo requirement is small tab. I got the same amount of GC with a small tab on A5.
