I signed up for it.

Here's the deal.

 1. In order to be able to use masked credit cards, you need to sign up
    with their "premium" service that's $39.95 per year.
 2. In order to create a masked credit card, you need to verify your
    underlying primary credit card.
 3. In order to verify your credit card, you need to have online banking
    set up with the card.
 4. For the verification process, they make a phony charge against the
    primary credit card.  You then need to look on your online banking for
    the transaction amount.  The amount is the "key" for the verification.
 5. Once verified, they charge 2.5% per masked card.
 6. The cards are not "recurring" charges, but I assume that they can
    behave that way with a single vendor.  (I haven't tried this yet.)
 7. At first, you are limited to card values of up to $50.  Over time, on
    a weekly basis, this limit increases to a maximum of $500.

So, as it stands, I cannot use this service for the purpose I was hoping,
namely, renewing my external plumbing coverage insurance since it's over
$50.

I guess I'd only recommend the premium service if you were to also use the
temporary phone numbers, temporary email addresses, the password manager,
and/or their back-up service.
