Sign up for Free Trials With Virtual Credit Card
If you regularly forget to set a calendar reminder on the abolition of the free trial version to their automatic renewal, consider using a prepaid card instead of a credit card as recommended by the Redditor .
This is useful for two reasons: firstly, if you forget to cancel your subscription before its automatic renewal, you will not lose any money, and secondly, it is a small way to protect your privacy and security while shopping online.
It won’t work for everyone, especially if you need an address to sign up for the service (and be sure to check the monthly fees on prepaid cards). In this case, the best option is privacy.com , allowing to generate numbers for use in test versions and regular payments. You make a prepayment by card, and then you do not need to worry about hackers or fraudsters getting your banking information.
If privacy is your top concern, Citi also offers a virtual number generator if you have a Citi-branded credit card (Bank of America also offers this). You choose how long you want the number to be valid and then you get a temporary account number with an expiration date and security code. You can read more about virtual maps here .
