That is a problem with Vanilla visa card. Any other card should work. If you are nervous about visa gift cards, then try the American express gift card, which can be used online. You can buy one at the following locations:
Drug Stores
Eckerd’s
Duane Reade
Longs Drugs
Rite Aid
Walgreens
CVS
Grocery Stores/Supermarkets
Safeway
Winn Dixie
Stater Bros
Albertsons
A & P
Pathmark
Giant
Kroger
Stop & Shop
Bashas
Other
Wawa
7-Eleven
Office Depot
Circle K

You should be able to. As a security measure, companies started asking for the 3 digit security code on the back of Credit Cards, so you might want to verify that your Visa Gift Card comes stock with one. I know they definitely work to pay certain bills online such as cell phone and electric. Good luck!
