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 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:
