I already suggested this above.

I can confirm the KOHO works for renewals.

Vanilla branded Visa or Mastercard work. Not their sister branded MyVanilla (I was trying to not sign-up to anything so that one didn't fit that criteria)

I haven't tried others. I like these because they're easy to find. And you can stay anonymous.

Triguy: he's asking about prepaid cards not full-on proper credit cards.

(As a caveat, one little detail that I haven't tested for my curiosity...actually renewing on the card. It sets up. It satisfies autopay. Manual payments can come from it. But I haven't actually tested a renewal. I was going to recently but then the 5gb promo showed up :). Now it'll be a couple more months.)

Public Mobile previously advertised the KOHO prepaid card.  I'm using the virtual card for online purchases, and the physical card for brick and mortar locations.

Working well for me.

Yes.

Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) and Visa Debit cards that have been issued by Canadian or American financial institutions and are associated with addresses in Canada or the U.S.
