Visa, MC, or Amex? I used to do that with Priceline all the time, but there came a point (a couple of years ago) when it wouldn't work with Visa any more. If Visa's going to object about the sequence of elements, which is stupid but the only reason I can see why I had trouble, shurely they're going to object to a fake-ish address (as they did on PL).

Everyone should take PayPal anyway. Though buy.com takes PayPal but not Canadian accounts (!).

Thanks for the heads-up on TDMA. I wonder if 1000 minutes is such a good idea. Since it costs nothing to activate an existing phone (and they throw in $5 of time) maybe we should all dig out all our old TDMA phones and get a few spares to hand around later.
