Couldn't you have changed your CC number and email to disposable ones, and then written off the account?

Disposable, not fake. $5 would be ample for any authorization-based validation scheme I've ever implemented, dealt with, or heard about.

Basically a proxy to the real credit card - then you can switch it off.
