Use a service like IronVest that gives you masked email addresses, masked (virtual) credit cards, and a masked phone number. $39/year $6/month. There might be better cheaper alternatives. https://ironvest.com/
Anyone have feedback on this option?
The email masking is free and pretty solid, I use it for many/most of my accounts.
The phone number making is all right and has worked well enough for me to pay for premium a couple times.
The card masking is too pricey and complicated for me, so I generally don't use it unless absolutely necessary. There are better options.
