First, I understand that the best options are cash, gift cards, burner cards, XMR, etc. However, that isn't practical for my day to day use. My goal is minimizing how much information is collected/sold by advertisers.

I need a new physical credit card and figured I should look for one with a decent privacy policy. I'm curious if anybody has any suggestions.

The only one that I've found even decent so far is Apple's card, but I don't have an iPhone. I also know Apple is generally disliked on here.

Try out Privacy.com for online shopping. Also use gift cards where possible.

For physical, cash is king, followed by gift cards. Visa prepaid cards are a solid choice, but not really practical.

Failing that, I'm not sure you can find a private card, not that I've looked.
