Thanks. I had never heard of this and I'm surprised its not widely available in America. How does the actual process of creating a new virtual credit card every time work?

Ex: I go to Ebay / Amazon / Alibaba / Walmart / Etsy / Newegg / NoNameSpecialtySite on my phone/desktop/both and make an order. Lets say I make two in a day. One from phone while at work and one from desktop at home. How does that actually occur, and does, Amazon for example, then show me as using a long list of defunct cards? If I make 30 purchases a month, do I have 30 defunct cards on file? Do they freak out about the "we see you're using a new card" all the time, or "you look like a card thief to our algorithm"?

You just go into the app and click "Create card". Within seconds it will show you the number, expiration date and security code. And you can name it.

Then you use it like a normal card, so on the retailers it will be just like you use a physical card.

For example, I wouldn't have one card per purchase for Amazon, but one virtual card for Amazon that I would switch every few purchaces or something like that.

I haven't had any issues with this and have been doing it for a few years now.
