Can't redeem MasterCard prepaid Card.

So, there is 'this' website that gives Gift Cards for doing 'things'. This is not a scam like most of them as I have verified that the card they gave me is real. Now they let you choose from a multitude of different cards but my stupid ass chose MasterCard Prepaid instead of something like Amazon. I tried redeeming it almost everywhere I can think of and thought I got scammed but later I checked that it's MasterCard's policy that I can't use it for something like Venmo or PayPal. It's a gift card, so it need to go somewhere where gift cards are. So, my question is:- 

Can I exchange it for something else because the card is still real and have balance in it. Like, is there any online portal where I add my card and choose a different one? 

 

"Can I use my card with funds transfer apps or services, such as Venmo, PayPal and Zelle?

No, your card is not compatible with apps or services that allow you to send funds digitally to numerous merchants or other people. However, you can use your card with most merchant-specific apps or services that allow you to load a balance to be spent at that specific merchant, such as your favorite retailer or restaurant app."

You just need to use it directly on a store's website and not through Paypal etc.

You need to use it like a credit card so directly on the sites payment system.

When ever I've gotten Master Card gift cards for rebates instead of Cheques or something from Visa, I found they def functioned at less retailers, even ones that would have taken a Master Card CC.
