Virtual Credit Cards
Imagine this scenario...You've just watched a late-night infomercial that showed some amazing new products at an insanely low price. You get a free trial and they only ask you to pay the shipping fees. After the 1st month, your subscription will automatically renew for only $49.95/mo.
Even better, they promise you can “cancel anytime” if you are unsatisfied. Pretty convenient, right?
This is a time-tested winner for merchants selling the latest:
- Hair care
- Libido Supplements
- Diet + Weight Loss Supplements
The list goes on…
Unfortunately, not all merchants facilitate the easy, no-strings, cancellation they’d like you to believe.
What if you could create a virtual credit card, on demand, that could do the following:
- automatically close after the 1st use
- lock to a single merchant to prevent unauthorized use elsewhere
- allow a pre-set spend limit (total, monthly, or annual)
- pause/unpause and close as needed
Guess what? You can!*
