That only makes it slightly better. It is still stored at payment provider. Hopefully they are better at safeguarding my data.

But if I only supplied a token. with a value I determined I would not have to worry.

If you're sufficiently motivated, you can do this today with Virtual Credit Card Numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_payment_number#Virt...

No, your credentials don't have a defined monetary value.

A temporary card number can be configured with a fixed value you specify; most banks provide the service for free.

You can also buy a Visa or AmEx gift card, and use that.
