They want to make sure that you have a credit card issued by a US bank and a US address. Same for instant video. So gift cards won't work, and they can't change that.

It would be against the terms they made with the companies to even provide you the content in the first place. Just get a pre-paid debit card.

Agreed. Go to Walmart and get a green dot card. It's called a Walmart Money Card. It's $3 a month and $3 to reload it. You can put $20 to $10,000 on it. It's reloadable once you get the real card. The first card will be a paper temp card and you can use it online right away once you register it.

Once you register on their site, you fill out a small form for the real card and yes it ask for SSN and it's through GE Bank the same people who do the Paypal debit card.
About 10 days later you get the real card in the mail. It works just like a real debit card and is reloadable at any Green dot dealer not just walmart. They come in Vista or Mastercard your choice which one.

This has been the best prepaid card I have found.

Only if you don't use it for other things. I use mine for all my internet shopping. I just purchased this last two week 300 Harlequin ebooks from eharlequin. some people's cards was locking up after just a few purchases. Mine kept right on going till the coupon ended.

It like a real credit card and $3 monthly fee is much less than the interest I was paying on a real credit card. Before that I had Paypal debit card I used. I actually prefer what I have now to it.
