I am now on my third Barclaycard in 3 months

The only place the card is saved is on Amazon and, the only place it is used is in my local supermarket.

Each of these cards has had more transactions on it from others than me.

The latest was used for an online purchase overseas before it was delivered to me.
and a spotify premium subscription.

barclaycard seem to be unable to explain where this is happening but I know it isn't from my end. I use the card then put it into a lock box. It is so annoying.

LOL

She does but she earns more than me and dodgy transactions are usually the other way around :)

I note that Barclays don't allow it to be used on Google pay the one where you tap with your phone.
God knows how they are using your card fraudently.
Are you sure its not your wife's lover? they are often dodgy characters. NOT your wife but her not now secret lover, they tend to be a little on the dodgy side.

Protect yourself by changing passwords for online accounts, especially Amazon and any others where your card information might have been stored. Consider using a strong password manager. Additionally, place a fraud alert on your credit report to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name, and regularly review your credit report for suspicious activity.

To bolster your online security, enable two-factor authentication whenever possible, avoid clicking links in emails or texts, and refrain from using public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions.

Mike Brewer of Wheeler Dealer fame was recently scammed for £10K,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvScj6oeIRo
was a Barclaycard customer who had his ID stolen, the fraudsters purchased a car from Mike's business and now he's lost his car and the monies. Since posting about his experience on Youtube he's been contacted by many other dealers that have had the same thing happen to them, but interestingly it always seems to involve Barclaycard customers. On the plus side Barclaycard seems to look after their customer but at the expense of the retailer. Surely all large purchases, say over 5K should require 2 factor authentication. It looks like the dumb old tech terminals that retailers use are not fit for todays commerce.
Edit from 7 min 50 secs for calling out Barclaycard

If you have a Tesco Bank credit card, loan or savings account, this is set to be run by Barclays in future as part of a "strategic partnership" between the banks. However, the Tesco Bank brand will remain – and there's NO change for new or existing customers right now.

I wonder if Tesco credit card customers will have the same problems if the deal with Barclays go through in November?

For Amazon customers, like myself, Amazon and Barclays have linked to offer a new Amazon Barclaycard with £50 being credited to your Amazon account. It worked flawlessly for me. I can't remember whether you need to be an Amazon Prime member or not.
