I wasn't being in the least snarky. If one person wants something that doesn't mean there's a market for it nor did amelius express interest in virtual card numbers. I wholeheartedly share his or her sentiment but I don't have interest in virtual card numbers.
Citibank and Bank of America (and their subsidiary FIA Card Services) are the big ones who currently offer this service and there's a whole host of other third party services as well some big names and some small names.
AMEX discontinued theirs in 2004, Discover discontinued theirs in 2011, reinstated it, and then discontinued it again in 2015, PayPal's Virtual Debit Card discontinued in 2010.
They don't provide much use because you probably would have better luck disputing the auto charge with your credit card company anyways. They don't offer any additional fraud protection and they may not work as you expect. Additionally taking away auto-payment to a service you signed up for doesn't actually cancel the service, you still have to unsubscribe. You may actually still owe them money depending on what you signed up for.
