The key for online acceptance is card registration via the issuer–which reverses the anonymous nature. Most processors offer this feature now.

I don’t get this claim by the correspondent (I can’t view the link, by the way). I can’t find any anonymous prepaid cards that Autotrader will accept – Visa, MasterCard, Maestro.
There are a few prepaid products that do not have a cardholder name printed on the front, but they are not anonymous in that there is a KYC process to go through (for all the ones I know off). Entering false personal details is one thing, but anonymous they are not.
Does anyone know of any truly anonymous prepaid Visa, MasterCard, Amex cards?
