Out of curiosity, what service do you use for this? I’m looking to make a purchase I’d rather not have tied to my bank account. I was going to go pick up a visa prepaid.
The one that comes to mind for me is Privacy.com, though it’s a paid service. If you just want to have a random CC to get past those “we need a credit card to continue” paywalls, I recommend a fake person generator. They usually include a realistically fake CC
It’s worth noting that if you use privacy for free trials, they limit you to 3 cards linked to the same “merchant” (detected by the first transaction that goes through). After 3 cards you have to contact support to reset the limit for that merchant, so the single transaction cards are only good if you never want to shop there again because they immediately burn 1 use out of the limit.

Looks like privacy has a free plan available at least. Up to 12 cards it looks like.

Revolut
Never was able to get approved on this platform and never told me why. I’ve heard it’s quite problematic in US but works better elsewhere.
Interesting, in the EU it’s been fine.
I miss the days where almost every credit card company had one that was connected to your account.
Discover had one. So did Citi…but now, it seems like it’s only Capital One.
