This is why on steam I don’t store my credit card information, nor on basically any other site that I can get away with it.

Yeah it is a pain in the ass for the times I want to buy something, having to put it the card details every single time, but it’s worth my peace of mind if a breach happens. By this point I have memorized my card numbers so it’s not too awful of a pendantic habit now.

i use privacy.com with a virtual card with a vendor lock and max limit. it also helps remind me when I’m spending too much there … 😂

That's nice, but their refusal to support linking to credit cards made me abandon using their cards.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

That’s for a very good reason that they don’t allow that.

If it was allowed it would be a wet dream for credit card churning

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but you lose out on credit card rewards, aka free money, going that route.

I’ve used them a couple times where my privacy was worth more, and once where I didn’t want a company having a card to put recurring charges on

Technically it costs money even if their fees are forgettable.
