> but it already automatically locks to the first merchant the card is used on.

Just a minor correction: I'm able to use the same Privacy card for x merchant for any number of y merchants, so long as it stays under the charge limit I've set for that card.

That has not been my experience and runs counter to their core product offering. Just my two cents.

So a privacy card you used for one merchant was denied by another merchant? And it wasn't due to them rejecting prepaid cards, setting your card to single-use, or setting too low of a dollar limit?

Not OP, but yep, my cards have been locked to the merchant.

I've only experienced this with Kickstarter and then a secondary payment collector (BackerKit, etc) where some extra charge had to be finalized, typically shipping or maybe I threw in some extra doodad, and then had it fail because that second charge wasn't technically the same merchant.

But this was fine and I was happy - working exactly as intended. I just created a new privacy card and updated payment.

Not OP, but yes, this has been my experience. https://support.privacy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012404053-W...

Correct. My cards are indeed locked to the original merchant that first charged something to the card.

Yes, it's quite annoying. I didn't want it and it was a surprise to me. I think there's a way to turn it off, but I haven't looked into it.

Correct, that has been my experience as well. It has nothing to do with the transaction/charge limit or them rejecting prepaids.
