LOL. That's why some banks have option to generate CC numbers on the fly and tying those numbers to particular vendor.

- johansch 10y agoThat is exactly what I ended up using (to create a second "payment method" with limited funds so that I could delete the real one). But still, this is not something that I expect to have to stoop to when dealing with an Internet company valued at ~$68B. Btw: This is what you get when you try to delete the first (and last) valid payment method: http://i.imgur.com/Y4PEOS4.png http://i.imgur.com/Y4PEOS4.png
- mbreedlove 10y agoWho still does that? I know American Express used to offer one-time CC numbers, but no longer does.
- fgandiya 10y agoBank of America does. Only for credit cards though.
- cookiecaper 10y agoI know Discover offered it about ten years ago (saw a friend use it). I don't know if they still do. Always thought it was a cool feature and wanted a card that would allow it, but up to this point I don't think any of mine do.
- dtparr 10y agoDiscover stopped offering them a few years back. At one time I had three cards that had this option and they all slowly stopped, basically saying their fraud detection was good enough the extra trouble wasn't worth it for them.
- techsupporter 10y agoI have a credit card called Final VISA that does it as their main feature. (Signed up for it from here on HN; it's OK.) Another company, Privacy.com, does on-the-fly numbers as debit cards drafting from your bank account.
- thasaleni 10y agoSuch a shame that Privacy.com app is country locked, I'm from South Africa and would definitely use something like this
- kgrin 10y agoCertain Citibank cards (not all though)
- panda88888 10y agoMy Citibank MasterCard provides one-time use CC number.
- kalleboo 10y agoMy bank in Sweden supports it for their MasterCard debit cards
- mszkoda 10y agoBoA appears to have it. https://www.bankofamerica.com/privacy/accounts-cards/shopsafe.go https://www.bankofamerica.com/privacy/accounts-cards/shopsaf...
