If I have a Vanilla prepaid Visa for example, how can I max out the money I use on it. I have a $50 one for example, but when I try put $50 on my mobile service provider account, the card gets rejected.

At retail stores i ask if they can charge the card amount first and then pay the rest separately.

I use Amazon to convert them fully into Amazon gift cards. Probably won't help with the mobile phone bill but it does empty the pp card fully and without fees.
