I've never heard of anything like this in the US. So I think it is new here, at least.

- gervase 11y agoA few credit card companies offered this in the mid-2000s (Providian and Citi, possibly more), but it seems to have fallen out of favor in the intervening time. I liked to have it as an option, so I'm glad it's making a comeback.
- ikeboy 11y agoCiti offers this, and I believe bank of America as well. Blur from Abine.com has an almost identical system to the one described here.
- brobinson 11y agoDiscover had "online card numbers" like this back in 2010. I'm not sure when they were originally introduced, though.
- cowsandmilk 11y agoSince no one has mentioned it, American Express had Private Payments from 2000-2004, which generated one-time credit card numbers that the merchant could charge for up to a month.
