Can you please confirm whether the limit of the 99$ card is 200$ or 2000$? I know the OP has said it was a typo and it's 2000$, but I am sure everybody will find the information more ressuring if it comes from you. (No offense, OP).
Sorry about that, I was under the impression that that there was a limit of $200 for each purchase, and I got that confused with the monthly spend limit. I'm almost at $200 for this month, and it shouldn't be too difficult to try to push it higher (ideally with more Udemy courses).
My Jetpack bill is arriving some time in March and it's $239, so that will be a good litmus test for my thesis as well.
Also @OP please try to get the card working with server merchants if that's possible

A little update to this:
AWS seems to work with this card (have no clue since I wasn't billed yet, but I was able to link it).
Google Cloud gives an error message: "prepaid cards can't be used".
Linode also rejected it, and they went as far as saying "it matches patterns associated with fraudulent behavior" (
as if getting paid by fraudulent fractional-reserve banks is somehow better!)
I'm sure AWS will also cancel my account again if I call for customer support (LOL). So I guess no GPUs for me from there either.
