Probably you’d get 8 or 12 to play with ad a bank and I think 1 is error correcting. But that is still a lot!

Problem I have with gift cards is a lot of merchants and machines refuse them. I wonder if neobanks have this issue?

Quite a few websites don't accept my Revolut or Monzo cards at all, despite being VISA/Mastercard. So there is clearly some way for them to detect these neobank cards.

It's called the BIN (card number prefix) try e.g. https://binlist.net/
