Yes. Note that prepaid rates aren't always immediately charged to the card, so if you are running up against the deadline you may have to call to ask them to put the charge through. (Even on non-prepaid you can apparently also call and ask them to charge a deposit, unlikely they will refuse...)

To be clear, it's the purchase that triggers the credit (the redemption of the gift card is not relevant as far as that goes)
