This is why I use privacy.com cards for the majority of my online purchases. You never know when a company will change a policy and charge cards on file.

If you have a capital one card they provide virtual cards for free, though the UI is a pain. If you are signing up for things as a business mercury.com provides virtual cards for free (and with a really nice UI and feature set).
Now the question is do I get forbidden because I am from Germany or do I get forbidden because I use Mullvad VPN trying to access privacy.com
I'm getting it as well in Canada, without any VPN.
Revolut also offers a similar service, for the non Americans among us.
I use Revolut. It generally works well but I distrust them after they arbitrarily froze my account for ~3 days and never explained why. I didn’t have any cash on me at the time and had to actually starve
Wow. I never knew about privacy.com cards. I may have to avail myself of that service. Thanks.
