        What makes you think you can only do it once? As far as I know all they check is a unique email, so you can just create a new account if you want to do it again later.

          Because stores typically want your payment methods first, before they let you subscribe or purchase anything, even for “free trials”.

            According to this article (from 2020) a unique card is not required:

            An Amazon customer service rep confirmed to us that a new email is all you need to qualify for the promotional period.

                Me neither, I think American companies just say “credit card” when they mean any payment card

                  Yeah but my bank card is still unique and tied to me as a person and my address. I can’t really get something anonymous for free like some temporary email provider throwing me a new inbox. We can’t even get anonymous prepaid phone SIMs anymore. It’s all a contract.
