Unfortunately, my experience is you have to register them first. I too have a worthless piece of unregistered plastic like that (Kaufland Card).
Sure, but you can usually register with fake info though. I've never seen one really verify much of any information.
Just use one of those email forwarding services that generates unique addresses.
everyone can sign up as "JP Morgan" at "555 Fuckoff Lane". I'm guessing it might be better if we all standardize to make it harder to connect the sold datasets. If they have address checking we should find some tiny town with 200 people from google maps.
