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.

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.
