I'm not going to share my credit card number, of course. But I am going use VisaBuxx to set up a limited value debit card. This card would have about $5 on it, which is okay because it is only there to satisfy Amazon. The Kindle ebooks will be paid for with gift cards.

I used this program about three years ago, and don't remember what the fees were. My bank is a member of this program, so they should be minimal.

P.S. If anyone wants to try it, the address is www.visabuxx.com. It might take me as much as a week to get the new card number.
I started to get a card, and stopped just before the process was complete. The total charge fro setting it up was $17.50. That is more than I want to spend to fix a problem I don't have. but if someone wants to take the risk, I will assist.
