Why not just create a sub-domain of a domain you already have. Ie. testing.example.com

For promos in which the registrar is earning little to nothing, they're going to scrub hard. Also, if you entered an obvious bogus number like 555-555-1212, that may be why.

ICANN requires it. Whois privacy or a throwaway phone number is the answer to that.

They might! Many registrars, including well known ones, such as eNom, require some people to do just that.
