True. I should have included that, but a credit card gift card that is not expired does appear as a credit card to them so it should work.
I also use gift cards with minimal balances at sites where I "buy" free digital content. However, that strategy failed when I tried to register for the Amazon Prime free trial; Amazon would only accept a card - even for the free trial - whose balance was sufficient to accommodate the full monthly subscription fee.
