Introducing Virtual Credit Cards
www.rbcroyalbank.comcross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28567151
A few cards that I read about.
RBC virtual card, seems to do what I need. But it’s available for business use only.
Robinhood Gold Card, only in the states.
Wise, not sure if exact limits are available.
Context: I recently purchased a hotel stay where a merchant charged my card for the advertised price on their website, the amount was then refunded. Then another merchant charged my card a higher amount (a few hundred) all in a few seconds of the original transaction.
Edit: I found Wise provides limits on their virtual cards. I have yet to test how this works and if the transaction is declined for Insufficient funds, does anyone have experience with this?

The way privacy cards work are very similar to when you close a bank account where The account still exists for a certain amount of time afterwards It just can’t be charged too further, so refunds or canceling of previous ones will work fine. However, charging new stuff to the card will not.
