- pizzaplatinum 2y agoGood luck finding Zyyzzyzx Balleyhew whose address on the temporary card is registered at PO Box 42069, Utqiagvik, AK
- lukan 2y agoAnd you can just get a card with a fake adress?

- ceejayoz 2y agoThose don’t have a fake address. You still have to put the right name and billing to pass verification. A prepaid Visa/MC/Amex gift card might work, but those are easily blockable. I’d expect Adobe to do so.
- notpushkin 2y agoI mean, that’s one way of getting users to pirate your software and hate you at the same time.
- notpushkin 2y agoNo, but you can type in any fake address in your zipcode. (Or – if your card is from outside US – you can type in a completely random address and generally it will work.)
- MrDrMcCoy 2y agoNo need. You can use services like privacy.com, whose generated cards will accept any address. Just pick a random valid one that you aren't connected to. Picking the address of a public park or library in another city can appease address verification checks.
