I use Fastmail's masked emails all the time and nobody minds at all. I just used another one at H&M yesterday, which I do every single time because you get 15% for creating a new account with them. I don't even read it out to them. I just hold up my phone and show it to them, which they appreciate.
- londons_explore 3y agoJust remember that misrepresenting your identity as a way to get a benefit (like a discount) is technically wire fraud. You're unlikely to get prosecuted till the day you do it to the wrong company...
- ipaddr 3y agoNo it's wire fraud. I invite you to back that somehow. Using different emails or addresses or different cards is not illegal
- whitemary 3y agoLmao having multiple email addresses or H&M accounts is definitely not "wire fraud."
- carlosjobim 3y agoJust remember what? Unless he claims to be somebody else he is hardly committing any fraud. If they don't remember him or if their system doesn't remember him - isn't that their own problem? But the steps people take to get a discount... He could probably just straihgt ask for a discount and get it anyway without making a new registration.
- IG_Semmelweiss 3y agoANyone minding will not tell you they actually mind.... Case in point. ChatGPT will not accept any masked email from fastmail. I tried multiple traditional domains. No luck. The error was something to the effect "try later, too much traffic" something or other. (Hiding behind public perception, slick). This went on for days. One day, after the 20th try...on the next second, I finally relented and used my google workplace email... (which ironically enough is not very liked , particularly by banks, since its not a traditional dot com domain). That worked immediately.
