For whatever reason, Amazon requires a credit card for any pre-order even if it's free. I keep around a VISA gift card that has something like fifty cents left on it just for sites like this. I also use it at Google Play, where you need a credit card on file to get any free books. An extra bonus is that the gift cards will electronically verify with a bogus name (I keep a separate account for freebies at each book store to make sure I don't mistakenly buy something when getting free books).
