google checkout consistently gives out 10$ off for anyone signing up for a new google checkout account -- the cost of creating a new account is trivial. and as far as i can see there is no conscious effort to correlate credit card numbers or address information to prevent the obvious cheat of creating bogus identities to get 10$ off each time?
am i missing something
(only flip side is by signing up multiple accounts, u run the potential risk of compromising the private information more often if the account gets cracked)

presumably if they give you 10% off they still make money, so they don't care.
im not sure i understand -- i presume the actual seller makes money even after the discount.
how does google make money (unless you are speculating that they get a cut from the seller out of the sale -- i would be surprised if they do)
