For me I started using a service called Privacy a few years ago and haven't looked back so far. It's changed how I handle all online transactions. It let's you create virtual cards that are either good once or forever and once it's used by that merchant it's tied to them. So if someone ever did try to charge you that wasn't that exact merchant it gets blocked. You can set daily, and monthly limits as well and pause the card or close it whenever. So I would use this virtual card for the payment on epic and then this happens and all I do is close it out and open a new one. So far I did have 1 place that had my card charged from a place that wasn't them. The cool part is you know who almost screwed you because of the card thats being used. It was a local pizza place and I called to let them know they probably got hacked.
You can’t sound more like an ad haha
My bad lol. It is really great though!
One used to have a similar thing before they got bought out by Walmart and started dropping features 🙃
