Privacy Avis 

Very negative experience. Getting through their maze of invasive questions took forever. Then they didn’t accept my address (say what?!?) so I used another one. Then they said the debit card and address didn’t match. Well yeah… Then they said they didn’t recognize that card anyway. Then I tried getting help from the bot, who sent me totally unrelated articles on expired cards and other topics that had nothing to do with my issue. Three hours of my life that I will never get back. It doesn’t matter how great the service is eventually if you can’t sign up.

Very simple to set up cards and manage them. I've used it for about 6 or 7 accounts and have had no issues.
Except for one account which would not accept an "alias" card.

One thing that would be helpful is a list of known companies that will not accept privacy.com credit card info.

Love Privacy.com I used it to create one time credit cards to use or credit cards for just one vendor. Really helps if you are concerned it might be a scam purchase and don't want to give out your actual credit card info. Use them monthly and never had issues.

One of the best apps I have ever used plain and simple. Gives me so much flexibility when I’m buying stuff. It helps me to NEVER have to worry about paying for memberships I don’t want. I love this app. It’s simple and it just works! Not sure if I articulated how much I like this app ??

Easy to use and effective. I really like making vendor locked cards for all the things where I need to give a card to sign up but might forget to cancel later. Good communication.

What is the point of using this service if my mailbox is filled every day with declined charges for subscriptions under $20, due to insufficient funds, when my funding source (major FDIC-insured bank) has thousands in it? There is no customer service number, and my requests for help are repeatedly ignored.

Nice and effective website. Cards. available instantly.

Using privacy.com allows me to monitor any transactions on the accounts I have on their site before they actually hit my bank accounts. I've been hacked before and privacy.com gives me an extra layer of security.

To give credit where it's due, the service does manage the bare minimum: offering max privacy by accepting literally any billing name or ZIP code you type in, and limiting exposure with single-use cards. I also never upgraded to a paid premium membership because my initial experience was so poor when they first launched it, and looking back, I am so glad I never gave them a dime.

When I first started, the daily and monthly limits were absurdly low—barely $250 and $1,000 respectively. When I contacted support about this, they told me to simply keep using the card and my limits would increase over time. I took their advice and used the service consistently for over two years, but my limits never changed by a single dollar. Frustrated, I stopped using Privacy completely.

Fast forward a year later: out of nowhere, without me even touching the service, I received an unsolicited spend limit increase—tenfold, up to $2,500 daily and $10,000 monthly. I decided to give them another shot, thinking they had finally fixed their infrastructure and enhanced the platform.

I was wrong. After reconnecting my bank, I now get maybe 1 successful transaction out of every 10 attempts. The rest are constantly declined with the error: "Your funding source didn't appear to have enough funds for this transaction"—which is outright false, as the money is sitting right there in my account. When I reached back out, support's only advice was to refresh my bank connection or wait for other transactions to clear.

What is the point of using this service or having up to 10 cards at a time if, across all of them combined, you can only successfully make 1 transaction per week?! Don't waste your time.

Very easy to navigate and create new cards as needed. I highly recommend that you keep track of the cards in a spread sheet just to help you remember which card is used for what. Don't store the entire card number. Just the last four digits.

Fabulous service to enable privacy in every day shopping and recurring expenses. Protect your finances from data breaches with one time purchasing or merchant locked options. Love it.

In the last few years I've had my credit card info stolen three times. Now with Privacy.com I use private cards for all internet transactions and I have another card I use for in-person transactions. (and I never let them leave my sight with it)
This is a great service! Thanks

I wasn’t able to spend the $5 they promised me! I don’t recommend or trust this service at all, I have other reasons but already reported to ftc!

Easy to use straight forward and very secure.

I use Privacy.com for all my online purchases now. Very simple to use. It came highly recommended on NBTV and they were so right. Thanks for a great service!

I started using this service after my credit card was stolen from an online merchant. We now use it for any web-based payment service (e.g., certain restaurants, software, fishing licenses) and feel secure with the one-time or vendor-locked options. I recommend the service to anyone that has to make purchases from non-trusted websites, and that includes most people.

They have helped me manage online payments securely and easily. No more having to remember what card I used and worrying about one-off purchases and how secure they are. Disposable cards without having to buy gift cards. A+++

Simple and clean. Customer service was good about helping me connect a bank account without using a 3rd party, you just have to email them about it. I use it all the time for online orders and accounts. Card setting for card limits are helpful and I like that I can pause a card easily. I didn't know if transitioning to these cards would be easy at first but it absolutely was.

I like that it makes purchases less visible to snoops who may want to steal or sell my data.

For background, I'm on the Privacy.com free plan, so I'm missing bells & whistles. Well, maybe just bells.

There is a lot included in the free plan, but its limited to single-use cards and single-merchant cards and they're quick and easy to set up.

This is great for standard, consistent payments like subscription services. (Gym memberships are easy to cancel without paying for that additional month.) Buying Girl Scout cookies, for example, would take some planning.

Tracking virtual cards and their funding sources takes some time at the website. A customizable "account nickname" tag would be useful to hover over or sort on.

I may upgrade to a paid plan for the "merchant category" cards. Maybe that would let me have an "impulse buy" category so I'll be ready for the cookies and the turkey leg vendor.
