It was worth it. Frankly, I was reluctant to believe it myself until I tried it. I've NEVER seen an online vendor accept a credit card charge with a bad address.

Here's another interesting bit: Obama's website donation system doesn't even ask for the verification number on the back of the card, which is supposed to protect against using stolen account numbers. I've never seen any other website circumvent this either, but again, it's up to the vendor to enable these verification checks. By default, these checks are all enabled - the vendor has to explicitly disable them.
