Paypal wont except it. Frrom what I've seen no sellers online like MtGox etc accept it. I'm just looknig to get a couple coins to try out a poker site. Have everythig downloaded and thought I'd be able to transfr some cash since it is a preloaded card but cant find anything to do this. What is the best way for me to purchase 2 BC's?
For using it as a credit card, you have few options.
You can use the funds to buy Second Life Lindens (SLLs) on VirWoX. Then those SLLs can be converted to bitcoins:

You can also use a credit card through LiqPay with an account at BTC-E.com:

Also, cash works well for buying bitcoins. Your prepaid debit card can be used at an ATM to withdraw cash. Then that cash can be used at any Chase location for deposit to your BitMe exchange account:

Or at a Moneygram location using BitInstant:

You could also try to find a trade on Bitcoin-OTC marketplace. You would probably need to mail the card to the seller who then uses the card to complete a purchase at a retail location (or ATM), and then if that succeeds, delivers the bitcoins to you. So obviously, that seller's trust history is relevant so that you don't get scammed:
