I had this happen as well. I got a cashback rebate for my contacts in the form of a virtual credit card. I was able to make a purchase for the exact amount (that I was going to make anyway) and then I saved the actual rebate amount in my savings.

 

So in summary, just use it as a regular card online and you don't have to pay fees. Amazon is probably a good place to use it.

I always take those and reload my Amazon gift card balance with them since there is no fee, the balance doesn't expire, and I do lots of shopping on Amazon. 

You can also take them and pay your utility bills with them. Like if I got one for $377, I would probably prepay the Comcast bill for two months to knock out $280 of it and pay the Xfinity Mobile bill to knock out another $60 and then take the remaining $37 and load it on Amazon. That way I wouldn't be tempted to create frivolous spend.
