Priceline and Hotwire Registration

Hi... I'd like to use Priceline.com or Hotwire.com to search for some New York hotels. However, when I try to register it wants only US addresses. How do you guys get around this? Do you just make it up? Would that be a problem when verifying credit card purchases for hotels against your address?

Thanks

    For Hotwire, i used to put 90210 in for the postcode. As long as it accepts your payment you're ok.

    Just put CA as the state:

    99999 as the zip code

    I've registered two credit cards, the other one has

    [FONT=geneva,helvetica,sans-serif]SANDIEGO, CA 92110 as the address.


    There is no problem doing this.

    Any number in the form of

    xxx-xxx-xxxx

    If you want a real US number then just Google a US city and pull out a phone number
