Just curious, but the article mentions matching CC addresses to Gamertag addresses, I'm sure most people who set up accounts to d/l stuff from the american market setup Silver accounts - which don't request CC details (at least the silver account I set up for Dad - which was a UK based account - didn't ask for CC details).

Can't you just buy a scratch card for the membership in the USA and use that to setup the account?
