Although the mandatory sign-up for VBV on Newegg is old news (~3 years ago now?), any time you get a "you are now being redirected to your credit card's website for a mandatory additional agreement," that should be a huge red flag.

You can cancel the "mandatory" VBV page by pressing the back button. At first, the VBV page did have a tiny link that let you opt-out, but it disappeared some time in 2009.

I was quite surprised when I had finally given up and was ready to empty the Newegg shopping cart, only to find the order was accepted when I used the back button to escape VBV.
