I have been hesitant to add my card because of privacy. I particular the fact that my card is linked to my email. What is your take on it?

    I recommend using Privacy.com to create virtual credit cards that withdraw directly from a bank account. I see it as a VPN for credit card purchases. For US customers only, but obscures payment info to merchants.

    You can use a bogus name and address for the merchant billing information (in this case Google Play).

    Like adding it to google pay? Or do you mean for electronic payments in a profile with sandboxed google play services?

      I mean for electronic payments. But I would also be interested in knowing how you solve gpay in a privacy oriented way?

    Cash is better than a card. And you can use Monero on any online store that takes crypto by using a swap service.
