I don't have any financial stake in them, I'm just a pleased patron, but it's this stuff that had me leaping to be an early adopter of Final[0].

Flat out, it's a credit card- but with their site or app you can generate single use numbers and CV2, or you can generate merchant locked numbers for things like Uber. There's a lot more they offer, but those two things are what I got it for and how I use it.

Some caveats being an industry-low cash back (1%) and they charge an annual fee after the first year. Another alternative is to check with your current CC company, many already offer single-use numbers.

Any quicker way to get that than waiting for 354,000 people to get it first?

Some banks offer a similar service on their credit cards. I know BoA has one called ShopSafe[1] and I'm sure there are others.

Citi offers a one time use credit card number feature on some of their account types and has done so for quite some time.

I believe this is what https://privacy.com/ does as well without the wait time.
