Why not gift cards? Gyft and eGifter both accept Bitcoin. And numerous businesses accept gift cards, including Apple and Amazon, and many chains.

Sure, you're right, we can reframe this and just say you're buying prepaid credit cards using cash/bitcoin. That could take care of the payment info anonymity. Not sure of scalability for mainstream but it could work.

The remaining issues of scale/tech remain though which is still a big problem.
