A hack for this: get a travelers credit card. It works just like a regular credit card, but it's pre-paid and not tied to a bank account. Use the balance you used to open the card on whatever you want, then you can use the empty (or nearly empty) card online without worry.

    A bit much of a hassle to save 7.99€...

    Also those useful prepaid credit cards silently seem to have disappeared (at least where I live).
    Had to switch to a neobroker that issues credit cards as an alternative some years back.

    You don't use the card just once. You keep it for anything that pulls this shit.

    Edit; I was a dick, I shouldn't have been.
