This helps but I am still wishing that the Final credit card would have survived because it allowed you to generate new card numbers per each vendor AND set hard limits on transactions per month, one time use, etc etc.

edit: still doesn't solve the issues with the other personal identity problems that comes with all of this... I just want an anonymous payment method. Is that so hard? I don't want any business to ever know who I am.

Thank you, this looks promising. It does require bank account access because it's basically a proxy debit card, but it's better than nothing.

I would be wary of any service which requires this level of access to your finances. If the offering is determined worth it, at least set up a separate account with your bank which is not "linked" to any others and transfer into it as needed via standard banking mechanisms.
