How about an e-giftcard that is just a series of numbers and I can use to purchase anything online without filling out my credit info.
e.g. I went to somewhere and bought an e-giftcard of $1000, I use $100 of it to buy a licensed software and download it, I pay another $50 for an online subscription,etc.
So I do not need disclose my location and even my name when I do not need to, this is basically a simple bitcoin-style-debit-card-for-online-purchases.
does such thing exist? any online stores accept that? if not why not.
- byhemechi 4y agoyou can buy visa/mastercard gift cards at supermarkets/ the post office in australia. I am sure that there are similar things in other parts of the world
- synergy20 4y agothat's the simplest way I assume and totally anonymous/untraceable if I need it, thanks!
- trothamel 4y agoAt least in the US, convenience stores sell prepaid debit cards that are basically this.
- synergy20 4y agoonline store does not take it is the problem, plus I have to go there to buy in the store.
- rajivm 4y agoPrivacy.com is designed exactly for this purpose. You can create as many service/purchase specific “debit cards” as you want and set limits. At time of purchase, you can use any name and address you want.
- synergy20 4y agoThanks. I was unaware of it.
