Hello,
I would like to have a credit card that I can purchase things online that is not traceable to me.
Is that possible?

Let me be the first to ask:

What are the things or services that you want to purchase?



Also, isn't this exactly what bitcoin is made for?

You could buy Visa gift cards at the grocery or drug store.  I think they cost ~$5. and will work anywhere a Visa cc will.

Buy with cash and never check the balances with your own computer.

Now you have to figure out how to get $500 cash without your SO noticing it.

^This can be done slowly at any place you can get cashback at the register like grocery stores, Walmart, etc.

How is your SO going to find out?  You could possibly use a business credit card that does not report to the personal credit bureaus.

This is how I pay for my VPN annually (I should just use Bitcoin now-a-days).  You have to register the cards to use them online, so for best anonymity use a temp email address (https://www.mailinator.com/); fake name and address for registration.
