In the context of buying Kindle books from Amazon, it would have to be a US address. If it's the customer's own (non-US) address, then there would be no point in using it, as far as I can see.
In fact, Amazon apart, what's the benefit of using a virtual credit card compared to any other kind? The only thing I can think of is if the customer can't get credit in the normal way (since the virtual card is in fact a pre-payment card).
Have I missed something?

I've seen 2 variations of virtual cards:
a.) You can choose your own US (or wherever) address. Google is quite helpful in finding "your" residence in california.
Advantage: Different states have different taxes.
b.) The virtual cards comes with an address of the country you choose. I guess, It's the address of their foreign subsidiary.
Only used option a.) so far.
