Apparently, they forgot how to do the 'banking' part of running a virtual card service. I used this for about a week and things were great, until I hit around 370 dollars of transactions.
At that point everything started getting declined. I contacted support and apparently, because that 370 dollars was still in a 'pending' status with privacy.com (even though the money had already been taken from my bank account!) i couldn't charge anything else because I only had around 375 bucks in my bank...

What is Privacy.com?
Get a new virtual card for every purchase for free. Set spending limits, make one time-use cards, or cards that only work at certain merchants. Join over 100,000+ users that have saved $100 million by blocking unwanted charges due to compromised cards, hidden fees, and forgotten subscriptions.
Lifehacker says it's like creating a Gmail address like “myname+service@gmail.com”, but for your card number.
Forget about credit card fraud, data breaches, or having to update billing information at all the services you use when a card gets hacked. Foil fraudsters, keep you personal information safe and take back control of your online spending!
Privacy cards may be used everywhere major debit cards are accepted.
Benefits:
- Complete Control - Set max charge limits on each card and close any card with just a swipe.
- Private Payments - Spend anonymously. Use a fake name when you pay. It’s nobody's business what you buy.
- Foil Fraudsters - Cards are automatically locked to the first merchant they're used at. So you're safe even if the merchant gets breached.
- Stop Subscriptions - Set a max charge or make your card single use, so you'll never forget to cancel one of those pesky "30 day free trials."
- Completely free - We make money from merchants, just like a debit or credit card. We won’t ever sell your information or surprise you with any hidden fees.

Love it. Works very well as described.
FYI, you have to pay via a US-based bank account, and your legal name on the virutal credit card.
You can only sign up if you are a US resident.

So, I either had to put more money in my bank account or 'wait' for those ALREADY PAID FOR transactions to expire.
Pretty stupid. Support admitted it was a bug in their system and that it was now fixed, but my next transaction failed as well, so I just gave up on this service and closed my account.
This was as a paid member on the $5/mo plan. It's decent for one-offs using the free plan, but I wouldn't arrange your whole financial life around this service, and I wouldn't suggest paying for any of the subscription plans.
will be great if it works outside US region
