First, I understand that the best options are cash, gift cards, burner cards, XMR, etc. However, that isn’t practical for my day to day use. My goal is minimizing how much information is collected/sold by advertisers.

I need a new physical credit card and figured I should look for one with a decent privacy policy. I’m curious if anybody has any suggestions.

The only one that I’ve found even decent so far is Apple’s card, but I don’t have an iPhone. I also know Apple is generally disliked on here.

    Hard pass on their privacy policy. They have to collect lots of identifying data to do financial transactions in the US, and they don’t currently sell that data, but:

    In connection with, or during the negotiation of, any merger, sale of company stock or assets, financing, acquisition, divestiture or dissolution of all or a portion of our business, or

    They’re a startup that just had a huge Series A in 2021. If they’re at all successful they’ll almost certainly get purchased by a mega bank that primarily wants all that sweet sweet private data that’s been getting collected but not shared all along.
