Of course, any moment now there will be a blog post from somebody who signed up for 300 disposable credit cards and used 300 disposable email addresses to get a supercomputer for free.
If you have a Bank of America credit card, you can just use the ShopSafe feature. Log in to your account online and you can generate temporary card numbers to purchase something online (allocating as much allowable spending as you want), so you don't have to expose your real card number online. These are temporary numbers that get a new number, new expiration and new CCV...but behind the scenes they're tied to your real card, so they show up on your bill like normal.
I tried that once. They cut me off after 5 temp numbers in one day. I wasn't even trying to cheat -- I was just buying a bunch of stuff from different vendors.
I love this feature, do you know if its possible to do that without logging into their website? I would love to be able to create temp numbers from my phone (without having to log in and expose the rest of the functionality).
Having recently implemented a CC payment system, it's not actually required by CC companies to do any kind of address verification (though companies that ship physical goods generally try). Amazon is probably more stringent.
