One card per merchant. Issue a separate card for each subscription or platform, and a leak at one exposes nothing else. You can close that single card without disturbing anything else you have set up.

You can stop it yourself. Freeze a card the instant something looks wrong, from your dashboard, without phoning anyone — and unfreeze it just as quickly if it turns out to be nothing.
Card numbers are never stored on our servers: when you reveal one it is rendered straight from the issuer's secure vault into your browser. We will never ask you for a card number, a security code or a one-time code.
