In Europe you can probably use Revolut, they let you generate single-use cards.
Please note however that websites can tell it’s a single-use card and refuse to accept it. Most recently Amazon and their related services (Twitch etc.) started refusing them.
There’s KOHO for Canadians, still not a proper Privacy.com replacement but you get two Mastercard cards (one physical & one digital) and they are refillable via Interac payments.
When doing trials, I set a few dollars on the card to ensure if they try to do a 1$ transaction to verify the card and I’m good to go. Even if I forget to cancel, the payment won’t pass.
Which is not a good look for privacy.com. You have to be either very lazy to not set up the redirect, or use a very cheap service that doesn’t allow you to do it.
No, it’s just ensuring SSL encryption to their servers at all times. It’s the best possible look for a website called privacy.com.
If they allowed http connections, those connections aren’t guaranteed to be private (encrypted).
Privacy.com. You can mint a credit card with a $0 limit (or $1 if they need to do a test transaction) and kill it right after.
Seems to be for americans only, sadly.

Yeah I already have Revolut but those single use cards can’t be used on subscribtion services sadly.

That’s where the VPN comes in?
+1 for privacy.com
Should be a default feature with all card issuers
If you’re getting “site not found”: https://privacy.com/
http://privacy.com/ doesn’t work, it doesn’t answer on port 80.
Fascinating. I use Firefox with “Force HTTPS” enabled so I never noticed this before.
Does that mean you can’t explore sites like toastytech.com?
I just get a “Secure site not available” warning with a button to proceed into the HTTP site anyway
I defer to second image on this post when I see that

I’m talking about leaving http://privacy.com (the non-secured version) not leading anywhere. It’s an amateur move.
Right. I don’t feel like trusting my CC information to a company that doesn’t even know how to do a redirect.
