A month or several back, I had tried to use a prepaid Mastercard/Visa Wal-Mart(?) gift card to purchase a game on this site.
I was disappointed to find that it wouldn't accept my card.
I later found that the card doesn't allow international purchases.
So, I'm here to ask, "what prepaid gift cards allow me to purchase games from this site"?
Also, I don't/won't use PayPal, don't have/want a bank account/credit card, and I don't like cards with monthly fees.
(sorry for all of the extra restrictions...)

I think I remember seeing several places in various threads where people had mentioned Vanilla Visa works here. Other than that, I'm not sure. I don't have the same restrictions you do ;)

Vanilla Visa does not work. I don't know any US prepaid gift cards that can be used outside the US. Papyal is a good payment option, but you said you won't use it. If you want to buy stuff on GOG, try arranging a trade with someone on the forums. Say you will buy them Steam games for GOG titles. Good Luck finding a solution.

There hasn't been any for a few years now. You can thank your Congressional Representatives for the change.

That's a shame.

Thanks for all of the help though.

Why don't you get a Visa Electron?

EDIT: Oh, apparently it is not available in the US?

PayPal has gift cards that can be purchased with cash. There's a $3.95 activation fee, but when I load one up with a $100, it's hardly an issue.

If you live near Canada, you can buy one here. Ours work like a charm overseas.
