Be careful, some prepaid credit cards say they can be used on line but then they force you to use your own personal information to register them and they mail you information to verify the address (which defeats the purpose of trying to be anonymous).
In Pittsburgh (I'm sure they have similiar places where you are) I purchase a Visa gift card at Simon Malls (they own a number of malls in this area). With the Simon malls visa I can l log into their website using the visa card number, then register it by entering in any information that I want (fake info). These cards work great online. Other prepaid cards I've tried don't work online.
