:Precisely why I use "ShopSafe" from my CC company.
It will generate a temporary number for you for the time you specify, and no more than the amount you specify. To the vendor, it looks like your CC expires in a couple of months and your credit limit is surprisingly close to the item you're buying.
Bingo. I use this for every singe online transaction. If the charge is $10, I limit the card to $10. An extra step anyone should take - it's worth the extra three minutes to generate a number.
