Ask HN: Spending Tracking Tools

Re:Ask HN: Spending Tracking Tools by johntash on Sunday January 05, 2025 @08:01PM (#42606509)

I think I have the opposite mindset. I prefer putting everything on credit cards because then I don't have to keep a receipt or remember exactly what I spent where if I go to multiple places in one day. Plus bills/online subscriptions/etc that aren't cash-friendly.

I'd like something like Privacy that creates temporary credit card numbers, but is also anonymous from the provider side. Sort of like buying a new visa gift card to use every month.

But I also like getting points to use while traveling

re: temporary credit cards

I've settled on Capitol One. They call them Virtual Cards. I have lots of temporary cards, mostly I use them for specific vendors (utilities, different SaSS subscriptions) so if some low security site gets hacked it won't work anywhere except with that vendor.

I'm not sure if that feature is only for specific cards they offer.
