After you have linked your bank account to Privacy through a service called Plaid, you can set up cards. I had previously set up Plaid for another service, so it took no time at all. But it may be a little annoying if it's new to you.

Sample: Limits for the New York Times
I have to keep an eye on the subscription fee for the New York Times because I'm always on a promotional price, and when the promotion ends after a year or so, it increases a lot. So I searched for NYT and found the logo to label my card.

Use Your Virtual Card
I closed this one out right away since it was a sample. Closing is as simple as pushing a button. Then BAM... the company no longer has your credit card and can't charge you again.
