Likewise, you can give each online company a separate "Card" and know which one is getting leaked. Can't do that if ALL places use the same card. | |

Taken from your link: "They also don’t work at brick-and-mortar stores", which is what I said. The OP had their card refused at a grocery store, so they aren't only using it online. If their number is stolen at a physical store, virtual cards won't help. Just that. I also think virtual cards are great (I've been using them since 2008), but they don't solve every problem. | |

AND you reduce the odds of the physical card being lost... AND if your physical card is the one lost, you can get a new one and your online bills continue to get paid and online cards still work. Amazing good choice if it's used properly. | |
