This is off topic, sorry.

Fantastic pointer, thank you. I found exactly what I wanted, beautifully crafted. Two items totalling $15, which, coincidentally, is the exact amount of my gift certificate.

Unfortunately, even though I won't need to actually pay anything, it appears I must reveal my true identity, address, and phone number in order to be "manually verified" or some silly thing. Which means I end up in yet another database.  I've kept my identity a secret, so my employer doesn't Google me and get on my ass. (Googling me is easy because my real name is unique in the whole world!) Also, I've already had to shut two accounts when my personal info was "accidentally" revealed, once by the Boston Globe, and once by TJ Maxx. Privacy "policies" don't completely prevent theft. Over $2000 of CC fraud was found on my accounts. So I try to keep this sort of thing to an absolute minimum. Also, I absolutely cannot stand spam or physical junk mail. I gave Rendo a unique fake/forwarded address so I can get ebots, but I can shut that address off and change it any time if need be. The bottom line is I avoid revealing myself to computers as much as possible.

So, is there going to be another screen where I have to put in credit card info, too, after I reveal my name and address, even though I'm not going to pay a penny? Because if there is, I'm not going to bother.

I believe not unless you are actually paying by CC does the checkout process require CC info.
It's been a while since I made a purchase using a CC I prefer Paypal.
