Prepaid Visa/MasterCard "Gift Cards" from shops/supermarkets - does anyone still sell them?

So after all, is there still a way to make money with this in any way?

I think the £40 thing is no more, at least it is for one4all as I have made online purchases of £50 or more several times over the last year.

You may be right for One4all. The Web site still says there's a limit of £40 for Online transactions, but the full terms and conditions document, Clause 8, says the online limit is £120.

I tried to spend £45 on the Shoezone web site last month, but the transaction was declined - I assumed I had exceeded the £40 limit, but perhaps it failed for some other reason.

Vanilla cards definitely still have the £40 limit, and it's a nuisance.

I used the £100 Vanilla cards to pay off my credit card and add funds to Viola for free. However, it became frustrating when Vanilla lowered the online purchase limit to £40, effectively tripling the effort required.

These cards are how people use EBay with ghost accounts, not sure if that’s another reason they have disappeared. They are definitely used for a lot of shady things.
