In this new digital world..

Any site that collects your email address and credit card details is a risk based on how they may store your data. Who knows who has access to this data once saved.

On this point any site requesting you to create and account using your email address is a risk. Reuse of passwords on these sites is increasing risk at decibel acceleration rates.

Protecting your email identity account is most important these days. It's worth having a burner email address for any site requesting details like this.

Using the same password as your personal identity email on other services is foolish. If You have done so change your email password and if possible enable two factor authentication if offered.

Don't use free email services for your personal identity email. But free email addresses are perfect for your burner address. If compromised it can be discarded.
