Also for those who don’t know, ESPECIALLY when trying out new subscription services, you can get sats back on prepaid debit card from nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx

Just buy like 2 months of a service balance in a card, and use it to pay. You know exactly how much you’re in for and it doesn’t matter if you just forget about it.

This in combination with throwaway, custom emails for every single service is a big security and privacy boost while also preventing major headaches down the road. nostr:note18te0h5daqjgqpjac2ejymlfc9hl3hx5f8vw0u2jqfdzs7a6a3dqsnua80q

What’s your preferred way to generate throwaway custom emails, out of curiosity? Simplelogin? Or something like guerrilla or Skiff?

They even got auto withdrawals to a lightning address from your sats back balance. The Bitcoin Company is great, way better than Bittrefill that don't let you withdraw your sats. With the prepaid cards you can use with other extensions like lolli and maximize more sats back. The Bitcoin Company often has deals on the Visa card 2-5% sats back.

I buy gas and grocery cards on bitcoin co. App every week and get those sweet sats back.

We know a lot of people do this successfully, but we have to mention our cards are not intended for subscription payments.

Many merchants will decline them for that purpose and our card provider may decline it for the same reasons.

Having said that, there's no harm in testing if you're aware of that. Plus they do tend to work for this even if they're not meant to!

What about PayPal bill pay?

Loading cash balances to services like PayPal, Venmo, Revolut, etc is also not something that can usually be done with the cards, so we don't recommend it.
