Yes, as Amore said, but LL won't accept it and the reason is what Angelfa said. I used virwox once before I knew I could add the gift card to paypal and use it that way. I had got one for my birthday last year (May) and had trouble then so I used virwox, then I got one again for Christmas this past year and tried again through LL and no go. Plus the fee was more than I liked at the time so I added it to my paypal account and used it that way, no problem. I was then able to buy lindens with it as it didn't have me verify it and they didn't try to add the deposits they normally do because I already had a debit card (husband's work card) on my account.
My *sneaky* prepaid card is a greendot card. Works just fine if I want to buy lindens through LL but it's attached to paypal so I just use it that way instead of adding it to my account on SL.
