Fantastic

I’ve been using privacy for over three years now. Started as a free user then moved to premium as I switched all my bills to it. I use the service for all online payments now. I used to get hit by fraud a few times per year and it’s an annoying process to go through. Now I’ve dropped to one fraud in 3 years. Privacy has caught multiple fraudulent attempts and stopped them cold. Since cards lock to merchants I don’t even need to kill a compromised card. It’s even fun to watch the scammers try to use it and fail! The app works amazingly well and it’s easy to use . I like how it tracks transactions per card so you can see how much you are spending. I’d like to see some more reporting capabilities in the future is my only suggestion. Like spit out reports of how much spend per card per month/year/custom. The cash back with premium pays for the fee and even some extra cash which never hurts. Customer service was great too the one time I used them. I recommend it to all my friends. Thank you for a great service Privacy!

Welp. I am a client. Extraordinary company!!!

I started using Privacy because I have a lot of accounts that I don’t want one main card to be associated with. At first it took a little getting used to their customer service, but once it was all set and done I have not had any issues with the cards locking them unlocking them or setting them up. This is the easiest way to protect yourself and your credit cards from being manipulated on the web. I use privacy cards for bills, school stuff, even work stuff.

They may not work with cell phone providers or certain companies, but that is a tiny issue with such big wins. The convenience of having a credit card that has access to one account rather than having a multitude of cards, and possibly not maintaining them correctly is a breath of fresh air and a lot easier than I’ve ever met imagined. I am a total fan. This is an awesome company.

Stellar service, subpar app

Privacy is an absolutely fantastic service that I use religiously to manage my service subscriptions and send anonymous donations. I use its burner card feature to ensure I don't get charged for forgetting about my free trials. Everyone should use it, it's a no-brainer.

Compared to their web interface, I've noticed occasional interface hiccups when trying to change card details in the past - popups not respecting the keyboard, the interface not updating after I change the spend limit on a card, small stuff like that. Part of this is undoubtedly caused by my old SE being a bit of a design edge-case, but the service's design is excellent and these issues are all that's holding it back from being a perfect example of how to bring a service from web to iOS.

I'll continue using Privacy as long as I can either way, it's absolutely fantastic. Hopefully as time goes on, the app's stability will improve and the experience will get even better.
