From what I understand privacy.com does not have a method of ensuring your identity is separate from your card, but IronVest does. Been using IV for a while now, but earlier this year they put their masked cards under construction
Which is kind of a shame because I had online purchases in mind.
Is there any alternative people have found?
Thanks!

Buy a visa/Mastercard gift card from the supermarket with cash? Or have I missed your point?
Yeah, most online stores don’t accept gift cards, unfortunately. 🙁 Especially Amazon…tried to order some much needed products with Amazon cards, and they require a bank card.
IME, (on Amazon at least…and a few others I’ve tried) masked cards are usually accepted as bank cards. Gift cards are not.
I’d love to build myself a privacy-respecting online store that accepts everything from Monero to cash to Apple pay (for the general populous that doesn’t care), but I sort of lack the capital. 😅
Thanks for the explanation!
Monero
I mean, yeah, it would be great if Amazon took Monero, but I don’t see them ever even considering that.
