Not sure if the PA is what caused this, but the last time I tried to set up a prepaid card a couple years ago, (one of those off-the-shelf drugstore ones), the actual card could only have $100 put on it until I filled out a form online that required all kinds of PII, including the requisite SSN.
The prepaid card only worked in person too, never online. (I assume they did this by having a bogus or placeholder name attached in their database, which would fail any basic verification checks done by an online seller, but work just fine at a local retailer.
