Grab a revolut account. They're free, and they have a tool called 'digital temporary card' that is good for one use. After the card number is used, it's cycled.

Not affiliated, I'm in Aus and I use my temp card for anything I don't want to be ongoing. Doubles as a breach safeguard (my credit card involved in a DB dump doesn't matter if it was a one-off number).

There's other good reasons to use revolut but will save it :)

If you do something like this do NOT sign up for AWS or Google Cloud with your “main account” as a denied card can get your entire account lost.

Also, don't use virtual cards with Google Cloud. My old boss used his shiny new Apple Credit Card, which has a virtual number for non Apple Pay charges.

His entire account got locked out until he was finally about to get ahold of someone in billing to reverse it.

It was right around the time that this article: https://smartprivacy.io/learn/i-got-banned-from-google-ads-f... was making the rounds.

Hasn't been my experience, but good to hear.
