Can't Add My Prepaid Centre Cards to Google Wallet

I got 4x the $50 ultimate card from shopback. Jumped thru all the hoops to register them. I got my visa #, cvc, exp.
On their site My Prepaid Centre says Google Wallet is supported. Press add, it says can't do it, diy manually.

It says
Your card’s issuer declined this request. Contact your bank or use a different payment method. Learn more [OR-CCSEH-26]

Is this normal? I'm feeling these cards are very hard to use by design.
I wanted to put it on app so I can shop in store, since I can't with foresight swap for a specific shop, and they don't take split payment, etc all the issues with their system.

    Was it worth it? The saving I mean. There is a new gift card issue literally every day of the week on here. Yes, gift cards are more difficult to spend than cash. Yes, they make it harder for refunds. Yes, they have more $%^& go wrong with them. Yes, they seem to have a higher fraud risk. Worth the hassle and risk to save a few bucks? Only you can answer that

      With mortgage rates at 5%+, I'm going to say a 10% discount isn't worth it. 15% probably only if I knew something I wanted soon that would use most of the value.
      Woolworths and Coles gift cards are so easy to use these people are just bad.

    Is it eGiftcards??

    Because I had a similar experience with ultimate eGiftcards. I bought some a year ago and it was so difficult to use and claim.
    Required creating multiple accounts on different websites and apps, switching between computer website and phone website/app, and I can't remember exactly how but I succeeded in the end.
    The most sus part was downloading an unknown app which is what you need to use to put the giftcard in your phone wallet. Which is the last of like 10 steps and is required because I was told at the store I couldn't claim the giftcard unless I paid with the phone wallet.
    I will never buy ultimate eGiftcards again. A giftcard should not be that hard to use. Even worse if I gifted one to someone and they had to go through the horrible experience of using it.

      Yeah, I wish I could put a reminder that I should never buy this rubbish again.
