Bad thing in my opinion.
I used them to menage my funds to not to overspend.
Need to connect card to account, leaks happen.
More info to steam, you could use steam even without giving any personal details just by buying physical gift cards.
I had given them few times as gift.
Revolut single use cards. No saving, no leak.
I think there are others as well
One thing that can help with leaks is to not save your CC info with the account. Then it just gets used for the transaction and isn't saved outside of the payment system, so less of a vector for it to make it on a leak database. Also helps control spending by adding more inertia between this side and the far side of a purchase.
Change to a bank that cares enough of their customers to enable virtual cards, you can create and revoke numbers as much as you like.
Relatives would give them as gifts to me as well.
I am sad about this.
You good bro? ;)
