Actually, it's only fraud if you misrepresent yourself as a different person.
Just 'cause you use a different e-mail address doesn't mean you're trying to
defraud a company.  As long as you input your correct name and information it
should all be legal.  Most people have multiple e-mail addresses.

Of course, if you do it knowingly, get caught, and then lie saying that you
didn't know you had another account, then there's probably a good case for
fraud.  But if you tell the truth that you input the info with a new e-mail
address to get the discount there's not much they can do but make you pay the
extra 20%, because you didn't misrepresent anything.
