I'd never use a temp email when I'm paying, considering they have my CC info. For random accounts that I won't check the mail accounts of, temp is great. Not going to trust a company for this.
Ah, you'd use Privacy.com? Decent idea I suppose.
Do you pay for the premium tier? I would like a decent credit score, and using my card for normal, everyday purchases doesn't bother me as much.
Edit: Well, technically, they have your data anyway. It's like using Paypal for everything. TBH I'm OK with the system as it is right now, but I'd like greater adoption for Monero so I can make purchases directly using that instead of converting it to fiat once again.
If they are going to push the transaction to my bank anyway, I'm definitely not trying it. As I said, even PayPal will obscure the buyer's details from the seller. What's the point?
I would be OK doing that if they didn't link to my debit card in the free plan (last time I checked)
They link to one's credit card in the premium plan. That's what I would have wanted to see becoming universal in their services, but unfortunately that's behind a paywall
My apologies, I thought privacy.com supported credit cards, but apparently they don't, even in the premium tier. Indeed, I would like virtual cards for my credit card, since I'm never going to buy anything with my debit card anyway. I wish the other banks had something like Capital One
