Some credit card companies offer virtual numbers (not great but better I suppose). Maybe we can crowd source a list of private payment options by region?\n\nnight_driver:\n\n> Is my fear of exposing my personal information linked to my credit card totally baseless?\n\nYour fear of exposing your personal information is not baseless. Though, in my experience it’s rare for companies to store your entire credit card number or too many details. Of all of the payment platforms I’ve worked on for e-commerce, we strictly never stored a full credit card number only the last 4 digits. The amount of information stored and security protecting that data is entirely dependent on the company and will be highlighted in their privacy policy.\n\nnight_driver:\n\n> Services that offer prepaid cards and gift cards don’t accept payments from credit cards but do accept crypto as payment.\n\nAre buying gift cards or prepaid cards _in person_ an option for you?",
