it can be done, sorry i cant be of more help off the top of my head.
I thought if we do this you get in trouble with Visa since you are discriminating against one version of Visa card over another, I know I read something from my merchant bank about not accepting one form of visa card or another, and this would fall under that.

I have the same gateway as PR so if I ever did a PPS program I would have the same gift card policy, I too have seen a huge number in unbillable cards for rebiils and upgrades and I'm guessing it's mostly cause they are using $25 cards to join for $24.84 or whatever.

Can't expect PPS companies to payout on something that's impossible to rebiil. They could just do what other major PPS programs do, push all pre-paid card joins to secondary billers and not payout at all on them as most PPS programs hide joins to 2nd & 3rd slot billers in their cascades from affiliates.
