Privacy.com seems like a great service but I have not used it let. Question: I know privacy.com lets you spin up a new card easily but what does it do for the billing address that many websites prompt your for? Does one put garbage in the fields or does privacy.com have an address to be used with the card?

I always put in garbage info and it clears just fine.

Privacy.com is also an amazing way to save money. I use them for any online payment where I cannot use Bitcoin. For any subscription or service I only want to use once or limit my spend to a specific $ amount - I use a one time card, and I cannot tell you how many times some forgotten subscription or bullshit charge comes around in 6 or 12 months and I'm saved by this service. So even privacy aside, its a good money saving/budgeting tool because you can control EXACTLY how much and when you spend and it cannot go a penny over.

Spending limits per card per time period is great. Would have been great if banks supported this long ago, but it isn’t in their interest. We were forced into in an envelope method for the longest time

Even if it’s a honeypot that’s fine, I don’t expect privacy from the authorities with it, but from companies and data leaks. Its greatest feature is being able to set spend limits on individual cards. If an app should cost $2, set a limit a little above that, to ensure no funny business or hidden recurring fees.
