I agree - virtual CC #'s work great[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#9)

I too have started doing this with any type of online payment. There have just been too many cases where these "trusted" companies have abused their access to my CC account, and is another reason why I don't allow for any automatic deductions from our bank account. Using a virtual CC number is also a good practice in terms of one of these companies getting hacked and all of their customers' stored CC information being stolen. Note, most CC companies worth their salt will stand by you if you contest a charge like this - it is in their best interest to keep you, a source of interest revenue, happy.
