don't want the inevitable torrent of requests for more by them or the mailing lists they sell my info to? Here's what I do:

I buy a money order, sign my name so that it is completely illegible, send it by snail mail and never put a return address on the envelope. Trust me, they will gladly take that money in whatever form it comes to them and I have never ended up on any lists. Been doing this for years.
