    I don’t know what you’re referring to exactly, but for me, I like using normal credit cards through Apple Pay because the recipient doesn’t get your actual credit card number and a different number is used each time

        Well, so does your credit card company and they sell that info to the same companies Apple does, so nothing is really lost but a little is gained.

        Really, there’s not much private about credit cards at all, so idk what’s with this thread…

      Google Wallet, formally Google Pay, formally GPay, formally Android Pay, formally Google Wallet, formally Android Wallet, does the same thing.

      Switching phones and returning something was such a pain since it generated an entirely new number.

      The credit card company and everybody buying that data from them still does though, probably, which for me is the bigger concern.
