No. Credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards (cc/dc/pc) are _available_. It's someone's personal choice and preference to not take advantage of them, and Amazon have no obligation to change their service for every individual's personal preference.
Further, the sale is not "free" - nothing is "free". It is a _sale_. At no financial cost to you, maybe, but it costs Amazon bandwidth and possibly also wireless delivery. Being an online sale, Amazon have terms of sale, and one is inherently that you require a cc/dc/pc for payment, id and identification of location. As mentioned earlier, this is pretty common throughout other industries (eg hiring stuff) and almost ubiquitous online.
Consider Amazon's side. They have a contractual obligation to enforce georestrictions. What do you think is more of a concern, breach of contract or a handwavey discrimination claim?
