I just learned that prepaid credit cards are like a HUGE industry, BUT those types of cards apparently don't allow for automatic re-bills!

Soooo.....there is like a huge amount of people that are using prepaid credit cards that would probably like to join your paysite but they can't because it probably only offers monthly rebill options.

SOLUTION:

Lets say that you have a paysite and you offer 3-day trial for $3.99 that converts to monthly billing @ $19.95. Well, you could also make a one-time (non-recuring) month long subscription for like $39.99 (or whatever price).

These prepaid (gift cards) are a fast growing part of the credit card industry. They're fairly new, but becoming very common these days as you can now just walk into 7-Eleven and buy them in denominations from $25 to $500

I've never bought one myself, but I can see how they would be very popular with people who don't qualify for regular credit cards and/or they want a somewhat anonymous way of buying naughty things so the wife won't find out.

So I thought I would post this to see what others think about this way of getting more sales than you are currently. What do you think?
