I know of about 3 credit card companies that offer Virtual Credit Card Numbers. Amex Express, Citibank, and MBNA. Do anyone know of any others.

I prefer a vitual card number when purchasing from the internet. I currently use my citibank card for this this only right now. But I am looking for another card that offfers this service.

This is generally a one-time use computer generated number that is used in place of your ACTUAL credit card. It serves as a protection against hackers when shopping online, over the phone and in the mail.
