[NFBCS] Credit Card Management Packages

[Doug Lee]

How does that place handle card expiration dates and per-vendor CVV renewals? I suppose a long-to-expire time
might work if vendors accept it, but otherwise that sounds painful, to update different card numbers per
vendor at least on sites that don't make changing just the 3-digit code easy.

And perhaps more relevant to both this list and the original question (though this info was also relevant and
interesting to me), do you know of any accessibility problems on the site for this service, assuming it's all
web-based?

Privacy.com lets you create a card per vendor and also enables you to set
limits. I recently had  a card number stolen and much to my dismay, companies
who set you up as billpay through the visa network get your new card
information instantly. This feels unsafe and not super secure. Privacy does
pull from your account instead of your credit card, but I prefer this anyway.
You miss out on points and bonuses unless you pay them, but the ability to
have a card per merchant is amazing. The secondary bonus is that if your
number is stolen, you know exactly which merchant and have to only
renew/replace one card. With the limits, they can't use that much, and privacy
cards only let one merchant per card charge, so if someone uses your card on
ebay, the charge is blocked if it was previously used somewhere else.
