Using your real card number everywhere online leaves you vulnerable. Just one security breach can expose your card number for thieves to make unauthorized purchases.

When you use the Privacy card, you are protected. At every place you shop, you get a unique card number that only works at each individual merchant. So if your card number becomes exposed, it can’t be used anywhere else.

a service that lets you create anonymous “burner” cards for purchases where you might normally use a debit or credit card. You add funds to your Privacy account and create single-use or multi-use cards with or without a spending limit. Numbers, expiration dates, and security codes are automatically generated. When giving your information to the merchant, you can provide whatever information you want and Privacy will confirm it. They operate as any other provider (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) and charge the vendor a fee for every transaction so the service is completely free for users. -—

The card number is untraceable and when using it to pay online, you can use any name you want. Some disadvantages: 1. require a minimum loading amount (usually $10 – $20) 2. some have a maximum loading amount 3. charge a fee (usually less than $5) 4. and in most cases, they cannot be re-loaded (even if they could, the method of re-loading could then be tied back to you) https://top.quora.com/How-do-I-pay-anonymously-online https://www.cogipas.com/anonymous-online-payments-explained-how-to-pay-anonymously/
