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.
Even if this is the case you can control it on your own back end.

Here is the prime example for doing it, lets say you offer free trials. you can match from your database the string of numbers and if matches you reload the users cart and say something along the lines of "We're sorry this free trial offer has expired" then you have a new page with the full member pricing.

just a quick example, you can get creative with what you control.
