Anything similar to Web Certificate out there?

The advance apology: Thought this seemed like the best forum for this question, sorry if it isn't and I did do a search for webcertificate, "web certificiate", webcert. and "web cert." So, again apologies if this has been posted before under a different title.

The question: as the title says is there any service out there like web certificate where they provide you with a prepaid online virtual visa?

The context: My company has begun a new bonus program where you can get a gift certificate anywhere of your choice as long as you provide them with the information. I came up for a bonus this month and thought I would like to try a web certificate. Sadly, they are no more so I'm looking for an alternative, ideally so I could use some of this bonus money on the current DDD sale.

Could ask them for a pre-paid debit card (which can be bought almost anywhere) ..then you could use at a retail store. Webcertificates (at least they use to be) were real buggy and alot of places (well some) denied them even though they were technically legitimate. This was a few years ago so it maybe better.

Thanks Pilot! I've actually used those before and they are great I just don't think they'd get here in time for the sale (stupid company waiting till Monday to let me know I was getting a bonus).

I found epassporte and read some of the comments on here in the free DVDs thread, other than issues with online casinos and somewhat less reputable internet companies, have any folks had any trouble with this program?

Keep in mind that those prepaid debit cards usually have outrageous fees after a certain period of time or after X number of uses. The best way to use it is to buy a giftcard of the same amount at a retailer of your choice. Otherwise, you might get stuck with some changes on the card that you can't use.
