So im just wondering, would this work with mp3players4free.com? And also, would mp3players4free.com get my billing info, or just the card number?

yes random cc # will work at any site because they are legit numbers from cc comapnies to reduce fraud with online shopping. mp3player wouldnt get your billing information the company which you completed the offer for will. although i believe that OC could request the info if necessary,

Or at least the last 4 digits of the number.

ok, so all they can see is the last four digits of the credit card?

...hmm, what do u mean by "random cc #"? Or is this some special service/feature of a CC company that I am not aware of?

I know my Discover card has a 'single use card number' that you can generate that can only be charged on by at most one company. This prevents it from being stolen, and makes you quite a bit more anonymous. I use my Discover all the time to buy web stuff because of this.

If you want to sign up for Discover, PM me for a link where you can not only sign up, you can get free electronics too!!

I don't think they can see it. However, they can check to make sure the information that you give them is accurate with the information on the card. That means you can't give them a fake billing addy, and if you give them your real billing addy, they can easily flag it as a duplicate.

Why would you try to cheat the system anyway?

someone needs to write a book about how to cheat these companies, then sell it on these forums. they could make a killing!

More like get sued by the company and ruin what is a good thing for all of us.

That'd be like Amway publishing a book on how to earn wealth without selling any Amway products. Yeah it'd be useful, but it would cause the FTC to destroy the company.

I'm not trying to cheat the company, I just want to the ipod. None of my friends have cc's because Im still in high school. I mean, theyre getting the offers anyway. And its unique because my friends are getting the offers, not me.

Adenosine, so do OC just call up the company and ask to see billing address? Then they can flag the signup?

Oh well, i guess ill have to find other friends.

Just buy your friends some web certificates, or buy those prepaid visas that you can get in stores.
