I think this was a great idea, so I'm sad to see it go. I have prepaid credit cards for potentially sketchy sites and one "main" credit card that I use for most of my payments online. This could probably have reduced the "administration" overhead involved.

Is anyone aware of a similar offering that is available in Germany? I wouldn't think so, after all most people here don't even have a credit card. We do have debit/ATM cards, but they use a separate payment network developed in German and are not interoperable with Visa/MasterCard.

On that note, I wouldn't mind not getting any benefits since most cards here don't offer any notable ones either. This is probably a direct consequence of there being a pretty strict cap on transaction fees (iirc 0.3% on credit cards).
