You can get it if you lie.

As far as I know, Gateway does *not* check this. You can use a different credit card with a different name on it and they really won't care. I'm speaking from first-hand experience here. I never had reason, or motive, to defraud Gateway; rather, I'm a consultant and sometimes had to replace parts for my customers using my own credit card for security. And it was never an issue. Techs were happy to help me, were glad to talk to someone who knew what he was doing <g>, and didn't care that my name/billing info didn't match up with what was on the account. They just wanted to do their jobs, as tech support reps. But your mileage may vary. ----------------------------------- Ben Edelman BEdelman@ix.netcom.com -----------------------------------
