And if you're a gmail user, you should know that gmail "sort of" ignores usernames with plus signs. That is, if user@gmail.com is a valid address, gmail will accept mail for
user+<just about anything>@gmail.com. You can then use that address to create a filter. When I buy something from target.com, I give them "user+target@gmail.com". You can then see who target shops the mailing list to. I've also got a generic "user+ProbablySpam@gmail.com" version with a filter that assigns a "ProbablySpam" label. I go through the emails with that label, saving receipts and privacy policies, and hitting "UNSUBSCRIBE" on the other types of email.

I have a Performance Bike email in my inbox. At the bottom is "click to unsubscribe from future emails" option.

Most times the card never leaves your hands or the clerks don't ask for and compare your name to that on the card. If they do, I give my real name as it appears on the card, but not correct address or phone info.
Think about it for a moment, how many times that you've used your credit card in the last week or month has anyone asked your name? Gas station pumps ask for your zip code, but I suspect that's the only place you do anything besides swipe and scrawl some kind of signature.

Just two days ago I was ordering some items from an online store. I accidentally transposed two numbers in my home address. At checkout I got an error message and had to call an 800 number to correct my address before transaction could be completed. And all order receipts and tracking info goes to my email address. This info really not optional if doing online shopping.
Of course I can buy gasoline for my car my just swiping my card. Sometimes the reader asks for my zip code, but thats it.

WizardOfoz has the idea. I give them an address of someone I don't like.

I use a secondary e-mail address that I only look at once every few days. Mostly mass delete everything.
