Another success. I'm going to assume that this is completely fixed, so I'll "Solution" this thread.
Maybe the dumbest explanation I have ever heard far a major screwup.

What explanation? The following?
"Prepaid cards are no longer accepted as they are easy to use as a way to avoid automatic or overdue payments, avoid termination or unreturned equipment fees, etc.. you see where this is going, I hope."
If that's the explanation you are referring to as being the "dumbest", it is a valid explanation and has perfectly valid reasoning behind it. Many companies with contracts don't allow prepaid cards for payments.
As has been demonstrated, a blanket policy may not have been the way to go, but there is still a valid need for it. It's hardly "dumb".
Yes it is dumb, I can cancel any other type of card and have a new one issued in 3 days. You still have the same problem as you have with a prepaid card.

Cancelling your card doesn't cancel your account, nor the judgment that can be filed against it for non payment.
Not allowing prepaid cards has a valid reason.
Just ran into this myself a couple days ago. My prepaid card has been accepted for payment from day 1, over 6 or so years. No problems at all until I tried to change my prepaid card type and number. It was another prepaid card but with AMEX not VISA. I want this capability back for sure.
