> the vendor, or their bank, can easily determine you gave them a privacy.com number

evidence for that, please?

There are numerous advantages to a privacy.com number besides cancellation:

* you're sure that your real credit card will not leak out when (not if) they get hacked.

* You get notified every time the card is charged (or declined).

* You can set dollar limits so they can't pile on other charges.

* You have a complete record of all the charges on that card. You know that no other vendor can use it.

So refusing a privacy.com card, if they can even do it, would be a consumer-unfriendly act.
