Same for UK.

The credit card obviously has to be valid. But the credit card's billing address doesn't have to be identical with any of the other addresses (in my case, it's identical with the German address).
If you get any physical products, you find the addresses from your Kindle account as potential shipping addresses. So of course Amazon knows about your different addresses.
But there could be quite simple explanations: A friend of mine is Global account manager. His home address is France, his business address is Germany, his main location (for now) is US. I guess, there's no way for Amazon to differentiate between such cases and "ghost addresses".
I have had products shipped to my US address (borderlinx), so it's not really a ghost address
