Try using it as a "debit" card not credit. See if that helps.

Hey Sweetie,
I see what you mean. I just checked my "join" page. There's no option for debit.
Have you tried leaving off the zipcode?
If nothing is working, let me know and I'll ask the owner for his suggestion on how to use prepaid visas.

Hi Sweetie,
Hopefully it'll work now. I know sometimes the zipcode causes problems. If it doesn't match the "billing" one, then it won't go through. And for prepaid cards, the billing zipcode isn't yours, unless you register it like you stated you just did.
Let me know if you have any more problems ok? I'll see what I can do to help.
