Forget to? Or involve so many dark patterns it's nearly impossible to?
- ksd482 3y agoI think it's both. To counter the dark patterns, I now use privacy.com. It's far easier to just cancel a virtual credit card.
- bonton89 3y agoIs it true you can use a fake name (and presumably address I guess) for privacy.com credit cards? I have virtual cards through capital one but they seem much less feature rich.
- nunez 3y agoYup. you can use any name and address you want. Excellent for increasing online shopping security. (Parent company of the three companies you bought stuff from got big hacked? Who cares; all they're getting from you is fake data.)
- redrove 3y agoUS only…
- cratermoon 3y agoI was looking for this comment. Sometimes the only way to cancel is to make a telephone call (to a number that may not be easy to find) and wait on hold to talk to a person, who will then do everything they can to convince you to stay. Companies put a lot of effort into making signup frictionless, I don't buy an excuses that say cancelling is intrinsically harder than signup and can't be streamlined.
