Prepaid credit card, want to clear the balance

in Credit cards
I wasnt sure which forum section to use to ask this question.
I get points from pinecone surveys which i can convert to prepaid credit cards. The problem is that i have a few pounds balance on several of them and i want to spend it. When u buy something online you have to have the full amount so i cant use them. Is there anywhere i can pay for things using several sources eg like £5 on credit card and remainder on paypal. They are like gift cards that i cant spend.
You cant take them into negative balance and i cant reload them. A bit like love2shop cards.
My first one to expire in october only has £4.35 remaining on it but i have a few due to expire around christmas time. Thanks.

could you buy something in a shop and the pay the balance by cash ( i asume they might think two cards are a bit suspicious ).
i thought love to shop cards could be reloaded?
someone else might have a better idea though.2023 wins - zilch, nada, big fat duck. quack quack,0 -

Can u pay in a shop if you just give them the number and ccv. Never tried anywhere. L2S cards from topcashback come loaded with cash back and not sure if you can reload them.
I can ask in my local supermarket and see.0 -
Buy yourself an amazon gift voucher for the amount left on the card.0
