Gmail treats "@gmail.com" & "@googlemail.com" as the same user account. Using this method, you can have two inboxes, one for all the important mails & the second for all the trash (pun intended).
By creating an auto deletion filter with the query to:(*@googlemail.com), you can have a spam free inbox.

Furthermore, Gmail also allows adding dots (.) & plus (+) in the username giving you unlimited addresses, like:
- u.s.e.r@gmail.com
- user+netflix@gmail.com
- us.er+amazon@gmail.com
​
- u.s.e.r@googlemail.com
- user+pyramidscheme@googlemail.com
- us.er+fidgetspinner@googlemail.com
