American Express Gift Card & Blizzard Store

Does anyone know if American Express gift cards work with the Blizzard Store? I read the FAQ and it said that the gift card can be used for "online merchants", yet when I tried to use it at the blizzard store, it kept saying that an error occurred while processing my request, and after three or four tries, it just started saying "We are unable to process your transaction at this time."
I sent Support an e-mail about it yesterday, but they haven't responded.
If it doesn't work, is there something I CAN get that will work with Blizz store? I can't get a credit card yet, and a friend told me that I could get a Debit card at Wal-Mart or Target, but I've never used one before, so I'm kinda clueless as to what they look like, or what brand/name they are.
I wouldn't be asking this if Blizz store would just accept PayPal. Sigh.

I think the problem with most gift cards / prepaid credit cards is that most online retailers will try and verify the billing address of the card. The gift cards do not have a 'billing address' attached to them so the site simply returns an error when you try to process the sale...
Again, just an account of the troubles I have at work trying to process these types of cards...

Yeah, it doesn't have a billing address attached to it. Bah.
Is there some sort of debit card that a 17-year-old can get? =P A guildmate told me that I could just get a debit card for buying things from blizz store.

Debt card = check
If you have a bank account, you should have no problem getting a card.

Whenever I need to use one, there's a website I've gotta go to to register my name and mailing address to it for online purchases. Maybe that's what you've missed?
Perhaps. I'll try that.

This.
Check cards, which come with your checking account, can act as both a debit and a credit card.

I'll look into that, as well. The bank account my mother got me, I'm pretty sure is a Savings account, because the bank card I got with it doesn't have a standard credit card number, or a security code, ect.
As for the Gift Card, I managed to create an account on American Express, but when i tried to register the card, it said that I've been temporarily locked out of the system for "security reasons".

Anyone know of a debit card I can get, and where to get it? I asked a guildmate and he told me of some debit card that you can set up over the phone, but I forgot what it was called. Haeleos mentioned Visa gift cards, where are those commonly sold?
The American Express Gift Card I got is useless, because I'm currently "locked out of the system" and have been that way for the past two days, so I cleared my cookies and made a new account, and now it's telling me that the card has been locked out of the system. =/
