I manage all of my expenses with privacy.com. Reliable, convenient and most importantly: significantly safer than using my actual card.
This year alone I saved $1500 because a hacker breached a reputable SaaS company and, as a result, my card information was leaked. Fortunately, because it was my privacy.com card, all of the superfluous charges were blocked.
When I try to use privacy.com with DigitalOcean, it says that pre-paid cards aren’t accepted. How can I get around this?

Bummer. I was going to sign up to learn Kubernetes and move my existing SkySilk VMs over, But like you - I have moved all my online recurring bills to privacy.com
Hello, @alec3df99d59db974a46bbbd4e
Because up to 80% of abusive sign-ups use virtual, electron, or prepaid cards, we currently do not accept these payment methods.
