Multiple email addresses doesn't necessarily mean multiple accounts.  I 
use aliases for most of the companies I deal with regularly and also 
with one-off's.  For example, I sold a car a while ago with the Auto 
Trader and of course, they wanted my email address.  So I made a quick 
alias of trader at mydomain.com and gave them that.  I got their 
confirmation email and they never new my real address.  After the card 
sold I just removed the alias.  I do this for my bank, CC cards, and 
others as well.  It works great unless you need to reply occasionally, 
then they will see your real email address.  And you will find out right 
away if you start getting spam on one of those aliases exactly who sold 
you out.
