I found this old question / answer that refer to the same problem: I used to generate a new virtual credit card number with BofA's ShopSafe service, set the credit limit / expiration date and I could be sure that the merchant couldn't charge more / later than those limits. This was a very, very useful service - naturally, BofA discontinued it (and called it "caring about my security").

Are there other trustworthy services (read: large, well-known companies, like BofA) that provide the same set of features?

Is this a trend in the industry? Are all the trustworthy issuers (read: large, well-known companies, like BofA) walking away from cards that provide this set of features?

Any suggestions on how to find this feature in a card?
