...One can buy a regular Visa, Mastercard, or other 'gift card' in any reasonable amount, then create a brand spanking new Amazon account using the gift card as your payment method. You can periodically add new credit to the gift card using whatever cryptic means one prefers and not only review anonymously, but even make purchases anonymously, your own private Wikileaks, if you tend toward extreme paranoia.

Amazon considers it bad form (and it's unsporting as well) if you use this trick to write yourself glowing reviews, which will quickly become apparent if the only commentator and reviewer for a particular author happens to be the same "Jane Doe," and Amazon *will* catch on eventually if your alias doesn't behave like a real customer, since they do track how customers behave, but still. Just as on BC, authors appreciate good reviews, which is anything with four or five stars.

Note: This trick will likely hold up against even the National Security Agency if:

A: You pay cash for the gift card;
B: You use "anonymous" accounts, as at some libraries, coffee shops, or Internet cafeterias;
C: Don't do anything illegal. The cybercops have their little ways to do almost anything if they become seriously concerned.
D: Caveat subscriptor.
