Had many instances in the past where I've had to cancel a credit card because of predatory companies, so Privacy.com seemed like the answer. My short time so far using it has already saved me a lot of money and trouble including a stolen card number from my contacts merchant. I'm now a subscriber as these guys have become absolutely worth it. I use this chrome extension and safari extension. Works well and makes it very easy handle card entries.

Easy to set up. It has never not worked. As someone who lives on his <$900 monthly retirement income and is careful what he spends money on, the free service is perfectly adequate to my needs.

Hands down the best service I have subscribed to in the last 10 years, aside from Proton products. I've used Privacy for over 5 years, and I can't imagine life without it now. There's no greater feeling of freedom than being able to create cards on-the-fly for individual purposes with specific rules/limitations and not have to worry about using my real debt or credit cards online. Aside from the security aspect, the convenience aspect is incredible, as well. The browser add-in can autofill many checkout fields automatically! Since, it's called "Privacy", it's also no surprise that the improvement to personal privacy is great! When producing bank statements for things like mortgages, I don't have to worry about some random person reading through all my bank transactions because 95% of all my transactions just say, "Privacy.com". Freaking awesome! I cannot recommend this service and extension enough.
