    Because stores typically want your payment methods first, before they let you subscribe or purchase anything, even for “free trials”.

      According to this article (from 2020) a unique card is not required:

      An Amazon customer service rep confirmed to us that a new email is all you need to qualify for the promotional period.

          Me neither, I think American companies just say “credit card” when they mean any payment card

            Yeah but my bank card is still unique and tied to me as a person and my address. I can’t really get something anonymous for free like some temporary email provider throwing me a new inbox. We can’t even get anonymous prepaid phone SIMs anymore. It’s all a contract.
