I owe a debt of gratitude to MoviePass. Their shenanigans led me to learn about virtual credit cards (privacy.com in my case). I'll never be surprise billed by

  Unfortunately, privacy.com is only available in the US. I had been looking for an alternative for quite some time, but recently I stumbled onto the fact that Wise (formerly TrasferWise) will give you a seemingly unlimited amount of virtual cards if you open an account with them. As far as I can tell this isn't documented on their website, but I can definitely get new cards on demand and disable them as necessary. In fact, their website still mostly references MasterCard, however I have received a physical Visa card and the virtual cards are all Visa as well. This isn't as sophisticated an offering as privacy.com because you can't set a fixed limit per card, but it's a lot better than nothing.

    I believe Wise has a limit of upto 3 virtual cards. Are you able create more? source: https://www.kasareviews.com/wise-debit-card-review-pros-cons https://www.kasareviews.com/wise-debit-card-review-pros-cons

      I have three now and the UI to create more is still available. It's possible that clicking on it would fail (I don't want to needlessly waste card numbers), but I have definitely verified that replacing card details works: there is a button that lets you invalidate an existing card and create a new one. In that sense it may be limited in the amount of cards you can have at once, but unlimited in the number of card details you could go through.
