Just make a note of the zip code of some random address in the neighbourhood. A hotel or even the airport will do. At least that has worked for me. The system doesn't seem to care that that zip code has nothing to do with my Norwegian issued American Express corporate credit card.

12345 is a valid zip code, it has a single address associated with it - General Electric in Schenectady, NY.

10101 and 01010 are also valid zip codes.

(00000 usually works too even though it's not a valid zip code)
