Turn a Pre paid Mastercards balance into cash?

in Credit cards
I have a pre paid Mastercard with £75 cashback on it after taking out a Plusnet broadband contract .
Is it possible to get this 75 quid into my bank account or off the card as cash rather than using the card for purchases?

Use it to make a payment towards your gas/electricity supplier.0

Can't you just go to an ATM and take the cash out? You might struggle to find one that dishes out £5 notes these days, but you should be able to get the £70 out.#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3660

Can't even get cashback with it.0 -
Yes it is a Purecard I should have mentioned that .
Perhaps the electricity bill is the best option as Ive had a refund from a energy over payment before ?

Could you buy a (for example) Sainsbury's gift card, then use that to buy your weekly shopping?#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3660

Use it for council tax or water or petrol or groceries or anything else you can think of.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone .
As this £75 is utility or bill money I will credit it on the electric bill which gives me the option of requesting a refund to my linked bank direct debit if need be .
I already have about £80 credit on a sainsburys gift card and nectar card and dont really use Amazon .
Preferred this £75 spent in one transaction soon as poss just in case purecard isnt so pure .0 -
Electric bill seems to be the best option for you.
Regarding your electricity bill if you are free to move supplier without penalty consider Octopus Energy. No tie in, free to leave at any time, low prices too.
i find them really easy to use always in credit.
If you join then through a customers link we both get £50 bill credit.
