Virtual Visa Card at grocery stores

I earned it online. This is the card as it looks in 'digital wallet'.
Looks like it Is best to use for gift cards online, however, not sure that I could find much use for them. Have purchased one of Walmart, hoping that I may occasionally stop by them for groceries once in a while.
My regular stores are Sobeys, Metro and a few other retailers. It would be great to use my visa cards there.
Another concern is to actually show the visa card at the cash register. I guess I would have to send the above picture to my phone. The cashier might have to enter the numbers manually...

I either use mine to reload my Amazon.ca acct or to pay towards my Bell bill online. With either you can choose the amount you wish to pay. (Amazon has a minimum of $0.15, I think)

I hope no cashier is willing to enter that number manually...

I haven't worked in a store for a while but if we did a manual enter we needed to take an imprint of the card too. So we couldn't manually enter this or any physical cards with non embossed numbers.

For the Bell bill, is it possible to use one or two $10 virtual visa cards, and then pay the rest with my regular credit card?

Use online payment system and you can use as many cards as you want by making separate transactions

That is correct - a virtual gift card should not be used in a physical store. If stores accept a virtual card in person, they are on the hook for any chargebacks.

Ya the main thing is they accept the card as a form of payment ...
Not that they’ll accept multiple forms of payment on the same transaction.

If they don’t take multiples ...
Then do your pay offs individually one at a time.

No penalty to making multiple payments in a month against a Bell Bill etc

Just paid $10 towards my Internet bill with that card.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
