I have had no luck and don't want to go into my local bank to get a $250 prepaid card and face questions about international purchases. Is there any solution other then posting review after review?

You should also be able to use a re-loadable vanilla card that requires registration with your SS number. Patriot Act requires "Know Your Customer" for all foreign transactions.
If I wanted to be the most secure with respect to domestic biz, I'd go the Vanilla route.
