That's my biggest use case for Privacy.com. I care less about the privacy aspect and more about the convenience. I've already had once instance where a single-use card I created for 1 specific vendor started getting fraudulent hits (declines) and all I had to do was delete that card.

Careful. If you didn’t properly terminate the contract, you still owe that money. I have a friend whose credit got hit because a service sold his debt to a collector.

Thanks, good to note. In this case, they were declined transactions (nothing that went through) so it was only a tip-off to something fishy.

Be careful. You are still on the hook. And in many cases companies will sell you debt to collection agencies.

Long-time Privacy.com user.

You'll typically be OK with streaming services, newspapers, and mobile / web apps.

Definitely be careful with gyms, insurance companies, and any service that sends out invoices (instead of calling it a monthly subscription.)
