    Well, this sucks. PayPal was great for only having your credit card information in one place - now it looks like I’ll have to risk it with every website.

      This has me seriously considering using a company like privacy.com to just create random CC numbers per sketchy website.

        Revolut does that, but far cheaper.

          I like the concept if disposable CC numbers, but looks like i need to link both to my bank account. Anything like this that can link to another credit card?

        FWIW, I’ve used privacy.com a few times. Works pretty well.
