Virtual cards

Virtual cards are a simple way to protect yourself online. They let you generate a card number for a specific merchant or purpose, which can reduce fraud and make subscriptions easier to control.

This section covers how virtual cards work, where they are offered, and what features matter most, spending limits, one time numbers, merchant locking, and easy cancellation. We also cover how virtual cards help with free trials and recurring charges.

You will learn the tradeoffs too, like refunds, chargebacks, and where virtual cards may not work. The goal is safer online spending and better control over subscriptions without extra stress.
