Just an FYI, Privacy won't help you out if something gets charged fraudulently to a card.

Had a place triple charge me, place ignored all CS attempts from me. Privacy refused to help basically saying all three must have been valid and "they have policies with banks" that meant they "couldn't chargeback".

Isn't that what the spend limit option is for?

While I agree that allowing a fraudulent charge to appear on your card in the first place is user error (they should all be paused when not in use, and anything that remains unpaused should have strict spend limits set to within a dollar), the inconvenience of doing this properly can be too great for someone who makes purchases regularly.

Or someone who uses Amazon at all, because they don't actually charge your card when you make a purchase, they charge it randomly about 6 hours later. This trips me up all the time.

Yes they will. I tried to buy a VPS from OVH, and then they immediately locked my account, demanded ID, and refused to refund. Contacted Privacy support to file a chargeback, and they just gave me an equivalent amount of Privacy credit and said not to worry about it, since an actual chargeback would be far more inconvenient for me.

How large was the fraudulent charge?

privacy.com is not good. one loses the cashback or points. privacy.com wants the bank account details aka access. one loses any credit card related protections like insurance, price protection, charge back, fraud etc.
