As a previous commenter mentioned Revolut do this.

However I would suggest a temporary card that only lasts for 2 transactions.

- the authorization charge (e.g. $1 on amazon.com) [1]

- the actual amount of the purchase

Too many times I have been caught out by the authorization charge, only to have the actual purchase fail.

I use privacy.com which is awesome
To save others a click - looks good, but US-only.
Just signed up and had a poke around, created a few cards. I have to agree it looks excellent.
