I cancelled my credit card which incidentally was used for a photoshop and lightroom subscription I had used for an intro period. They sent me threatening emails for about 4 months before they gave up.

It was a real card. I cancelled it because of fraud. The service worked until the end of the period.

How do you get one of those?

A lot of the newer online-only banks offer virtual cards. Revolut, N26 etc.

Master card has a similar thing.

I have used privacy.com for this in the past. Don't know if there are better options.

I had a prepaid card that let me transfer the balance of one to the other. I don't recall the bank but it was a VISA prepaid.
