Can confirm VA will accept prepaid VISA/MC cards. QF do as well.
According to the Discounted eGift Cards Page, MemberAdvantage sells them at 2% off: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/discounted_egift_cards

I don’t think discounted VA gift cards exist anymore. My guess is that it was one of things VA axed after emerging from voluntary administration in 2020.
I remember once purchasing a $100 VA gift card from Coles at a 10% discount, but that was in 2019. I have not seen a VA gift card deal at Coles (or any other third-party retailer) since the end of 2019.
I also remember Reward Gateway selling VA gift cards at a 5% discount everyday, but that disappeared as soon as VA flew into voluntary administration in 2020. I just checked Reward Gateway a moment ago, and they currently only offer cashback for VA.
The only other idea I have would be to wait for another prepaid EFTPOS/Visa/Mastercard gift card deal at Coles (which may be in the next 1-3 weeks, but also may never happen again!). The idea is to use those prepaid gift cards to purchase a VA gift card, or attempt to use it to use it directly to pay for flights on the VA website (assuming you have a prepaid Visa/Mastercard gift card).1
You could keep an eye out on the Classifieds for folks selling discounted VA gift cards, but that is something I do not recommend.
I have my doubts whether the latter will work, because my suspicion is that VA requires any debit/credit card to support 3D Secure, which is a security feature prepaid gift cards cannot support. ↩
