I think $500 prepaid would work too. I can do about $5000 a month just with bill payments.

Do most prepaids allow bill payments? I figured they just were good for use like a credit or debit card?

yep, those. You can use them with amazon payments. The only problem is updating your CC twice a month. I wonder if this would raise a flag? I did this with paypal and after about 12 gift cards they locked my account and told me "good bye".

After reading the numerous posts coming in this morning, I went out an hour ago to my local ice cream shop. Decent number of cones (23 in total) still available in the typical two areas of the store. I went to the counter and paid for the transaction with my IB. Went through fine, just like in the recent past. Perhaps I just got really lucky...?
