i've joined scores of sites, mostly through ccbill, they're 100% safe by the way. on some statements your purchase just says ccbill but for example ann angel's actually said ann angel ! so be careful, i'm lucky, my girlfried knows i love all this and does'nt mind in the least ! as far as your wanting to join ftv, private message me, i might just be able to help ;)
Ideas? For such things you may look for a second credit card just for stuff like this. I have several credit cards in my pocket anyway, you never know.

In the U.S. you can get a pre-paid credit card in many stores. This will keep it off your bank statement.
