You can use proxy cards in your day to day life.

If you hand your classic card details to a company like Oracle or AWS, your card isn't exposed to the same threats as when you use it to buy something at the gas station.



AWS overcharging my card due to their unclear pricing structure seems like a much more realistic & costly threat than someone putting a skimmer in a gas station


Especially as one is a 'once off' use, the other is billing on demand.


That's a great world to live in but it's not true. I have caught three fraud attempts from cards only used on Amazon.
