I’m trying to subscribe to Wired magazine online, but when I try and use a virtual card from Privacy.com, the payment is rejected. Same thing when I try and use a Visa gift card. I could just use a real card, but I’m annoyed at the idea that they won’t take a private payment. Any ideas?
Maybe You Should Just Let It Go And Switch To Much Better Sites Instead But Hey It Seems That Wired Doesn’t Care About Private Payment Methods Yet They Have Been Doing Auto Complete Q&AS Since 2015
Assuming they don’t accept other payment methods, maybe contact them and see if they can make a change about adding cryptocurrency or at least unblocking Privacy.com cards?
Perhaps use this:

Yeah I use this too. FOSS and works great!
I fully understand that but the sad reality is if a tool can be abuse people will abuse it and companies will try to stop that and in case of privacy.com and similar that means free 1st month over and over again, getting a refund every couple weeks, … . Similar reason why domains of email aliasing services get blocked.
That makes total sense. Thank you for pointing this out!
